Limerick music store Steamboat Music have announced a very special event, A Night Celebrating The Cranberries, in honour of the release of the iconic band's final album, In The End.

The event will take place in Dolan’s Upstairs venue in Limerick on Thursday, April 25, on the eve of the album's official release date. Fans can gain access to the event by pre-ordering the album from www.steamboat.ie, or in store.

Fans will be welcomed into the venue on the night at 9pm to a wealth of great Cranberries tunes, followed by a panel discussion on the band's history and their impact on the music industry.

Niall Colgan, a close friend of the band will MC the event. The discussion will feature Deci Hogan (The Cranberries Stage Manager), Eoin Devereaux (historian and writer of liner notes on previous Cranberries albums) and Orla Colgan (Dolores O’Riordan’s secondary school music teacher). The new album, In The End, will then be played in full through a top quality sound system prior to its world-wide release.

In the End is a collection of songs the late Dolores O’Riordan worked on prior to her tragic passing last January. Together with her bandmate, Noel Hogan, O’Riordan had started work on the songs in May 2017, and had written and demoed 11 songs by that winter.

In a statement about the event, Mark Carey owner of Steamboat Music said:

“To have an opportunity to host this once in a lifetime event is a real thrill for us. Not only have The Cranberries impacted the lives of so many people worldwide, the effect they’ve had on their home town is immeasurable. To have the first listening party here in Limerick is really, really special and it’s an honour to have been approached to take on this event. Any fan of theirs and anyone that is simply a fan of music, this will be a fantastic event.”

In The End is available to pre-order from Steamboat Music on CD, Deluxe CD and vinyl now.

The title track from the final album has also been released today. 'In The End' is the fourth track to be released from the album, following 'All Over Now', 'Wake Me When It's Over' and 'The Pressure'.
