The Coronas announce two additional 3Olympia dates

The Coronas have shared that they will play two extra Christmas shows at Dublin’s 3Olympia on December 10 and 13.

This comes in addition to their December 11 and 12 dates announced earlier this week.

Last December, the band also played a sold-out six night run at 3Olympia.

“Myself, Knoxy and Conor feel genuinely blessed to be able to plan these special Coronas shows every Christmas,” said frontman Danny O’Reilly. “There’s always so much love and magic in the air at these gigs – it’s a pleasure and a privilege to be part of people’s traditions and Christmas schedule.”

The news follows the announcement of a sold-out run of intimate Irish shows, which includes dates in Derry, Ennis, Sligo, Athlone, Kerry and Meath through September and October.

The Irish rock band have released eight studio albums since their inception in 2003. Their debut album, Heroes or Ghosts, was released in 2007, followed by Tony was an Ex-Con in 2009, which reached No. 3 on the Irish Album chart and No. 1 on the indie chart.

Their latest four albums, Trust the Wire, released in 2017, True Love Waits, in 2020, Time Stopped, in 2022, and Thoughts & Observations, in 2024, all hit No. 1 on the Irish charts.

The group formed in Dublin when college friends O’Reilly, bassist Graham Knox and drummer Conor Egan initially performed as Kiros before changing their name to Corona, and later The Coronas. They began playing in the Dublin college and live local music scene.

The lineup was finalised when lead guitarist Dave McPhillips joined in 2006.
