Kingfishr announces three Irish gigs next summer
The band, known for their grand, atmospheric sound and catchy melodies, have quickly risen as one of Ireland's most promising acts, appearing at Glastonbury, Electric Picnic, and Reading & Leeds festivals.
Known for their hit single Killeagh, they've built a loyal following with 1.7m monthly Spotify listeners.
The group today announced they will play at the SSE Arena in Belfast on June 9, followed by shows at Virgin Media Park in Cork on June 12 and at Malahide Castle in Dublin on June 13.
It comes as Kingfishr will release its long-awaited debut studio album Halcyon on August 22.
Fans who pre-order the album through the band's official store by midday on Monday, August 11, will gain first access to a pre-sale for tour tickets, opening at 10am on Tuesday, August 12.
Meanwhile, Mastercard cardholders will have special access to Mastercard presale tickets, starting at 10am on Wednesday, August 13, and lasting until 10am on Friday, August 15.
Tickets for all three gigs will go on general sale at 10am on Friday, August 15, via Ticketmaster. Prices range from €59.90 to €69.90 for Cork and Dublin shows, subject to Ticketmaster charges.
The next opportunity for fans to catch Kingfishr live this year will be Limerick's sold-out Live at the Docklands show on August 22.
Following the release of their album, the trio sets off on an intimate album launch acoustic tour, with shows in Limerick, Cork, and Dublin later this month.
They will also have a North American run split between headline shows and gigs as a guest to Dylan Gossett.
Kingfishr will kick off their Halcyon tour across Europe in November, concluding with two sold-out headline shows at the 3Arena in Dublin on December 18 and 19.
The band, which blends Irish music with contemporary folk, pop, and indie, released one live album to date in 2024, Live from Dublin, which hit Ireland's top 5.

Noel Gallagher's daughter shows her footballing loyalty at Oasis gig
Oasis have officially arrived in Scotland, delivering their first of three completely sold-out shows in Edinburgh on Friday night as part of their eagerly awaited Live '25 reunion tour. But as the Gallagher brothers took to the stage at Murrayfield Stadium, Noel Gallagher's daughter was spotted in the crowd displaying her loyalty to one Scottish football club – Glasgow's Celtic FC. Anais Gallagher, 25, has been spotted at several of her father's gigs throughout the tour, including the opening shows in Cardiff and the previous week's remarkable five-night run at London's legendary Wembley Stadium. However, Friday night's show in Edinburgh marks the first time Anais has been seen sporting Celtic's iconic colours, as she shared a snap to her Instagram story showing herself wearing a green Adidas tracksuit top bearing the football club's crest. Several Oasis fans shared the photograph across social media afterwards, with numerous people praising her for publicly showing her support for the club. Noel and Liam Gallagher's mother, Peggy Gallagher, is a passionate Celtic supporter, and it seems that passion has been passed down to her grandchildren as well, reports the Daily Record. One fan who shared the image of Anais on X wrote: "Oasis star @NoelGallagher's daughter Anais representing the @CelticFC colours at Murrayfield last night. "Noel and Liam's mum Peggy is famously a massive Celtic fan, with both brothers regularly showing their support for the Hoops throughout the years." Another fan chimed in: "Anais rocking the Celtic trackie at the Oasis gig." And a third ecstatic supporter exclaimed: "ANAIS WEARING CELTIC YESSS." Meanwhile, Anais recently expressed her frustration with Oasis fans inundating her with requests for help in securing tickets for the eagerly anticipated reunion gigs. Every single date of the UK and Ireland tour was snapped up within minutes back in August last year, leading the band to announce two additional Wembley Stadium dates - which also disappeared in record time. However, the scarcity of available tickets hasn't stopped some desperate fans from trying every possible avenue to get one, including badgering Anais for help. She disclosed in a TikTok video: "What is it about some Oasis fans? DM-ing me like I am f***ing Ticketmaster or Shopify or something. "People are messaging me like, 'I'm having trouble transferring my ticket to somebody - this is my Ticketmaster code'. What the f*** do I know about Ticketmaster?" Anais has even been approached by people seeking advice on Oasis merchandise, including queries about t-shirts that are unavailable in certain sizes and where she would recommend buying one instead. She added: "How am I meant to know what shops are stocking your size?". "I don't know, I wish I could help you but I am kind of baffled that when people have an issue they think, 'Do you know what, let me DM Anais, she's going to know how I can transfer my ticket'. Guys ... I can't!".

Is it cheating if no sex is involved? Novel explores the nuances of emotional infidelity
Seduction Theory by Emily Adrian is brimming with gimlet-eyed humour and deadpan coolness, and delivers a writing masterclass in one scene where a phone-sex session doesn't quite go to plan From Chris Kraus' I Love Dick and Susan Choi's My Education to Elif Batuman's The Idiot, campus novels hold plenty of appeal, and for good reason. They are self-contained environments with their own rules and social dynamics. Its inhabitants are young, idealistic and fresh off the leash. Its older denizens – staff, academics, lecturers – are often intellectuals stuck in a sort-of adolescence. Elite campuses in particular are ripe for satire. Into this canon now comes Emily Adrian's observant and playful novel Seduction Theory; her third novel for adults (the New Haven-based author has also written two Young Adult novels). Nearly 20 years into their marriage, Simone and Ethan – both professors in a local college – are still enjoying a stable, fulfilling, intellectually stimulating relationship. They decided not to have children because Simone wanted to spend the rest of her life 'reading books and undressing' her husband.

From Pat Kenny to Ryan Tubridy: Five shock exits that rocked Irish radio
Pat Kenny, RTÉ Radio 1 to Newstalk, 2013: Marty Whelan, RTÉ 2FM to Century, 1989 Still remembered as a genuinely shocking moment, possibly because Century was the first nationwide rival to RTÉ. Whelan's move ended in tears, as his new home went kaput just two years later. He was blackballed by the national broadcaster but slowly redeemed himself on television and radio, and is now a beloved fixture on Lyric FM. Ray D'Arcy, Today FM to RTÉ Radio 1, 2015 The Kildare man talked about coming home when he made the surprise decision to quit his massively popular mid-morning Today FM show. His new slot, mid-afternoon on RTE Radio 1, hasn't exactly been a disaster – but has been pretty underwhelming. Ryan Tubridy, RTÉ Radio 1 to Q102 (eventually), 2023-24 Tubridy slunk out of Montrose under a cloud after the infamous payments scandal hit RTÉ, with him at the centre. Half a year, later he was back, with a syndicated show from Virgin Radio UK, simulcast to Dublin-based Q102. Early audience figures were OK, though they've dropped this year. Ian Dempsey, 2FM to Today FM, 1998 Another shocker, as RTÉ stalwart Dempsey – he of the eponymous radio show and, a few years earlier, popular television shows Dempsey's Den and The Beatbox – moved to a young whelp of a station that had only launched (under a different name, Radio Ireland, at that) the previous year. Did it work out for him? Oh, yes. And he's still there, doing very nice numbers in the JNLRs.
