The Thrills to headline Cork City festival

Hot on the heels of their Mercury Music Prize nomination comes news that The Thrills will play a headline gig in Cork City in September.

The Dubliners will perform at the Savoy Theatre on September 26 as part of the second annual Beamish Festival.

It follows on from their tent-packing Witnness appearance earlier this month, and will be their first headlining gig since the release of their debut album, So Much For The City.

Support on the night includes the Graham Hopkins-fronted band Halite.
