The indie-dance band, comprising Bob Stanley, Pete Wiggs and Sarah Cracknell, made their live debut in November 1990 at London’s Heaven nightclub, only months after releasing their first single, a cover of ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart.’

Over the following three decades, Saint Etienne accumulated 17 UK Top 40 singles and released 13 studio albums, including Foxbase Alpha in 1991, So Tough in 1993, and Tiger Bay in 1994.

The tour follows the release of their final studio album, International, in September 2025.

Saint Etienne’s UK touring history has included early support slots from Oasis, Stereolab, Broadcast, and Pulp.

The Dublin show falls in the final week of the tour, which opens in Manchester on September 15 before moving through Bristol, London, Sheffield, Glasgow, Gateshead, Brighton, and Cambridge.

Tickets for Saint Etienne’s final Ireland show will go on sale Friday, December 5 at 10am.
