A Global Tour in Support of 'Put A Smile On For Me'
The band’s journey begins in Leeds on February 19, with a string of UK dates taking them through Nottingham, Portsmouth, Bristol, Birmingham, Norwich, Glasgow, Sheffield, and Newcastle. The UK leg culminates in a sold-out performance at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on March 12, followed by two Irish dates in Belfast and Dublin.
In April, the group will transition to their European tour, bringing their raw, live-focused sound to cities including Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg, and Berlin. The spring season will then see the band cross the Atlantic for a comprehensive North American tour, with scheduled stops in major hubs such as New York, Toronto, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Capturing the Energy of Live Performance
Brothers Finn and Conor Keogh have emphasized that their debut record was crafted with the intention of reflecting their live energy. Speaking on the production process, Finn noted, "We have cut our teeth through live music and have built a fanbase through live music, so why not make a live record? I think people need that right now."
Tickets for the 2027 tour go on general sale this Friday, October 9, at 10am local time. Fans looking for early access can utilize the artist pre-sale beginning Wednesday, October 7.
