O Emperor tour Ireland

Hot on the heels of their biggest headline gig to date (at the Academy, Dublin, on April 15) comes news that one of Ireland's rising acts are set to tour the rest of the country this Spring as well.

It' s less than a year since O Emperor first headlined Whelan's for the first time and their entrancing live performances, coupled with the positive critical reaction to their debut album Hither Thither, mark O Emperor out as ones to watch for the future.

Aside from the Academy show, they'll be empire-building in Galway, Limerick, Kilkenny and Cork in the coming months. In other words:
