The Irish pop-rock band have announced a winter UK and European tour in support of their newly announced album, 'Satellites', due out on August 16.
The Satellites Tour will see the band calling at arenas in Belfast, Dublin, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Nottingham, Birmingham, London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Leeds, Newcastle and Manchester between November 13 and 30, ahead of dates in European cities.
Support on all dates (except December 9, 10 and 11) will come from very special guest Tom Walker. Tickets go on general sale at 9.30am local time on Friday (May 24) - Compare and buy tickets here.
The follow-up to 2019's 'Sunsets & Full Moons' finds Danny O’Donoghue co-writing with Steve Robson and Wayne Hector alongside bandmate Glen Power. It will be their first without guitarist Mark Sheehan, who passed away in 2023. They recently previewed the record with its opening track, Both Ways.
Jack Dee
The British comedian and writer will take his Small World show on the road for a year, with 90 dates lined up between November 2024 and the end of 2025.
A description for the new show reads: "Culture wars, the environment, British foreign policy and social justice are just a few of the topics that Jack spectacularly fails to address (or even mention for that matter) in his brand new show.
"Instead, for reasons known only to him, he doubles down on his fascination with the meaningless small things of life like Zoom protocol, what’s new in the world of radiators and the worst careers advice office in the world."
The British rock band will head out for their biggest UK and Ireland tour to date this autumn, with stops lined up in major cities, including London, where they'll take over the O2 Academy Brixton on October 10. Tickets for the 14-date trek go on general sale at 10am on Friday (May 24) - Compare and buy tickets here.
The dates will support their upcoming second album, 'Midas', due out through Communion on August 30, following up 2022's 'Cub'.
