Wunderhorse announce Collins Barracks gig for the summer

UK rockers Wunderhorse have unveiled a gig at The National Museum of Ireland, as part of the Wider Than Pictures summer concert series, on Wednesday, 20th August 2025. The band will be joined by special guests shame.

Wunderhorse (Jacob Slater, Harry Fowler, Peter Woodin and Jamie Staples) have seen their popularity snowball the old fashioned way; winning fans over through visceral live performances and Slater’s vivid songwriting. Their 2022 debut album Cub saw them graduate from raucous basements to show-stealing support tours with the likes of Fontaines D.C, Pixies, and Sam Fender, and a packed-out Glastonbury Woodsies tent – all in the space of a year.

Their latest record Midas speaks to this growth, where the band refined their rock formula by making a rawer album with router edges than before.

Speaking about the making of Midas in their recent Hot Press interview, Slater says: “We wanted to get to that sort of live raw sound with all the mistakes and all the ugly parts of it left in because that's who we are. I think that’s exactly what we did, which I'm really pleased about

“It's quite a dark record and we didn't set out for it to be like that. It's just what happened naturally. I think all of our personal lives sort of inform the colour of the record. It was a combination of that and the feeling of spreading our wings for the first time as a band on a record that really influenced Midas”.

Tickets to see Wunderhorse at Collins Barracks start from €45.20, plus booking fees. They go on sale this Friday, 13th December at 10am via Ticketmaster and Singular Artists.
