Kormac and Cartin announced as openers for FAITHLESS Limerick and Derry shows
The gigs are part of a two-night tour titled Ireland Underground. Commenting on the run of shows, Sister Bliss from Faithless said: 'We cannot wait to come and play for you and having two such exciting local talents join us for these up close and personal warehouse shows makes it all the better!'
The mini-tour will mark a warm-up for a huge summer of festivals from the Isle of Wight to Pinkpop in the Netherlands.
Original members Sister Bliss and Rollo have risen to the challenge of touring without iconic frontman Maxi Jazz, who passed away in 2022, by collaborating with show designer Jvan Morand and are bringing Faithless back to its roots in an uplifting celebration of their music and a heartfelt tribute to Maxi Jazz.
Faithless' Limerick show is also a chance to get inside the door of Troy Studios, as the 350,000 square foot epic space in Castletroy opens its doors for its first ever live event for one night only.
