The Horrors announce Dublin date

The band's forthcoming studio album V’ is produced by Paul Epworth, who has worked with FKA Twigs, Lorde, Rihanna, Adele, London Grammar, Florence and the Machine, Coldplay, U2 and Paul McCartney, amongst many others.

The ten track album will be followed by a full UK & Ireland tour, including a Dublin date on October 17, with special guests appearances.

“We've taken risks,” says Faris Badwan of the band’s creative decisions on V. “But life isn’t much fun without risk. It’s the antithesis of being creative if you know what you’re going to be doing every time.”

When we started,” explains bassist Rhys Webb, “we had a very clear idea of what we wanted to do, which was to make as furious a noise as possible, a fast and violent racket. But even though we started with this punky garage sound there was always this real spirit of wanting to experiment and explore.”

Tickets priced €24 go on sale this Friday June 30 at 9am through ticketmaster.ie and usual outlets nationwide.
