Author: Emma DicksonPublished 7th May 2024

Returning to Ireland for the first time in five years, Catfish and the Bottlemen will play Dublin’s RDS Simmonscourt on Saturday, 31st August.

The show is a welcome reunion with one of the band’s most vociferous fanbases, and excitement is set to be at an all time high for their first visit since 2019.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am this Friday, 10th May from Ticketmaster.ie

Catfish and the Bottlemen’s arena-filling sonic outlook has cemented their place amongst Britain's most successful bands of the 21st Century.

Signing to Island Records in 2014 after years of relentless touring, their debut LP The Balcony surged into the UK Top 10 and helped them scoop British Breakthrough Act at the BRITs before scoring their landmark #1 album with The Ride.

Since then they’ve amassed over one billion streams, two million album sales and are closing in on 10 million single sales. On stage Van McCann possesses unique magnetic energy, and is considered one of modern rock’s great live frontmen.

In the five years since releasing their debut album, they’d sold over half a million tickets, and have played to over 2 million people.

With the anthemic, stadium-ready new single ‘Showtime’, and an epic live summer ahead of him, Van McCann is back where he’s meant to be: headlining festivals, finishing a brand new album, and beginning a dynamic, exciting new era for Catfish and the Bottlemen.
