The Scratch announce Dublin show

Irish folk-metal band The Scratch have announced their biggest Dublin show yet, headlining Iveagh Gardens on July 4, 2026.

The announcement follows a period of international touring, including recent support slots with Dropkick Murphys across the U.S., festival appearances throughout Europe, a run of Australian dates with Dermot Kennedy, and a set at the UK’s Download Festival.

The Dublin four-piece will release their third album Pull Like A Dog on March 6, 2026.

Built on the acoustic–electric, folk–metal fusion established on their 2023 LP Mind Yourself, the new record reflects what guitarist Conor Dockery described as “a new beginning” for the group, following a period of significant change.

The album arrives after Mind Yourself debuted at No.1 on the Irish Vinyl Charts, No.3 on the IRMA Albums Chart, and earned a Choice Music Prize nomination.

Their music was also featured in Netflix’s House of Guinness, the new series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight.

The band’s upcoming Iveagh Gardens date will follow their December Irish run, which includes shows in Killarney, Derrybeg, Kilkenny, Dunmore, Louth, Derry, and Cavan.

Tickets for The Scratch’s Iveagh Gardens show will go on sale Friday, November 28 at 9am.
