The Scratch announce new tour dates in Cork, Belfast and Limerick

Irish folk-metal band The Scratch have announced additional dates to their Pull Like A Dog tour.

As well as their sold-out Dublin Iveagh Gardens gig, the band are set to play Cork's Savoy on September 18 and 19 and Belfast's Mandela Hall on September 26 before finishing up in Limerick's Milk Market on October 2.

The band released their new album Pull Like A Dog earlier this month.

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.

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

Pull Like A Dog received an 8/10 rating on Hot Press, with Riccardo Dwyer praising the album as "a fiercely compelling offering".

"The Scratch’s latest outpouring is also their gnarliest and most abstract."

Tickets for the Cork, Belfast and Limerick dates go on sale Thursday, April 2, at 10AM, here.
