Having previously missed their biggest Irish headline show, pulling out of Marlay Park earlier this year due to frontman Alex’s case of laryngitis, the band are back and better than ever, having just rocked the 3Arena in Dublin last night.

The bands previous albums include its 2013 AM and 2018s Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino, undoubtedly leaving fans with high expectations of their latest studio album. However, the boys from Sheffield once again never fail to disappoint with their seventh studio album The Car.

First releasing their single, There’d better be a Mirrorball, the bands style has evidently developed upon the vibe of their previous album Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino, with the album cut in a monastery on the coast of Suffolk. This arguably being their most experimental album to date holds the same edge while demonstrating the bands growth and maturity. The use of instrumental and orchestral arrangements within most songs off the album creates for a melancholic feeling of infatuation. Pitchforks review of the album perfectly describes the bands shift from “one of the biggest rock bands of the new millennium, into a lovesick, debonair lounge act”.

What time does the doors open?

The doors open at 6:30pm with the band set to come on at 8pm.

Who is the opening act?

Fellow indie rock singer, Miles Kane member of The Last Shadow Puppets alongside Alex Turner and formerly of The Little Flames and The Rascals will be the bands opening act.

Can you park at SSE Arena 2023?

There are 1,500 parking spaces across the front, rear and Riverside car park. The car parks run on a first come first served basis, including disabled parking spaces.

The SSE Arena is just a walk over the bridge from the Belfast town centre, so there is a variety of public transport options available.
