Wolfmother announce Dublin's Academy show for July
Grammy Award-winning Australian hard rock band Wolfmother have now announced a headline Academy, Dublin show set for Tuesday, July 1 2025.
Described as 'pledging allegiance to thick, throttling fuzz guitars, primal psychedelia, and thundering rhythms,' Wolfmother 'split the difference between the classic sludge of Black Sabbath and the retro-garage rock of the White Stripes'.
The band formed in 2004 in Sydney, and has since released six studio albums and received a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance for their 2007 track Woman.
Around March 2020, the world took a break from live music with the onset of a worldwide pandemic. When the world stage shut down, Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale took to the home studio playing all of the instruments, crafting out the band's 6th studio album, Rock Out.
Tickets for Wolfmother's gig in Dublin's Academy go on sale this Monday at 10 am here.

Capaillíní TG4, 8pm Máirtín Ó Neachtain meets the Corrandulla Show's organiser, Lucille Smyth, who explains why she believes events such as hers remain so important to the public.

The incredible cast also includes Tony Curtis, Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Woody Strode, Charles Laughton and an Oscar-winning Peter Ustinov. Dept. Q Netflix, streaming now DCI Carl Morck may be an excellent investigator, but there's no hiding from the fact that he's a terrible co-worker. There's the small matter of his scathing sarcasm, which has left him without a single friend in the Edinburgh police force. Then there's the rather more serious issue of him having fatally shot a young officer and permanently injured his partner. Unsurprisingly enough, following this tragic turn of events, Morck is relegated to Department Q: a cold-case unit which was created as a publicity stunt. Although the force is thrilled to see Carl go, he soon sets about assembling a group of outcasts who are all keen to prove themselves. Yes, it does sound a bit like Slow Horses, which is quite the gauntlet for Netflix to throw. Only time will tell if it's worthy of comparison. With yer man from Leap Year (Matthew Goode) essentially playing a hybrid of Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb and Jack Lowden's River Cartwright, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Good Boy Prime Video, streaming now In order to combat crime in a perilous underworld, a group of former medal-winning athletes exchange the podium for police badges. In an exciting, action-packed ride, Yun Dong-ju (Park Bo-gum) and his group battle a formidable criminal syndicate. Also on Prime Video, we have season 2 of The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy, courtesy of producers Maya Rudolph and Natasha Lyonne. The Better Sister Prime Video, streaming now D'you know what society needs? More portrayals of women being pitted against each other.

Criminal Code Netflix, streaming now Season 2 of the Brazilian action series inspired by real crimes sees an elite Federal Police unit take on a ruthless gang in a high-stakes battle.

Rachael Blackmore gives rare insight into her personal life following retirement
Rachael Blackmore has given a rare insight into her personal life and relationship with jockey Brian Hayes following her retirement from the saddle. The Grand National and Gold Cup-winning rider called time on her career last month. Blackmore made international headlines in 2021 when she teamed up with the Henry de Bromhead-trained Minella Times to win the world's greatest steeplechase at Aintree – the first woman to do so. In a statement last month, the Tipperary native said 'My days of being a jockey have come to an end. 'I feel the time is right. I'm sad but I'm also incredibly grateful for what my life has been for the past 16 years. I just feel so lucky, to have been legged up on the horses I have, and to have experienced success I never even dreamt could be possible.' Expanding on her decision, she told Betfair: 'When I was leaving the weighing room at Cheltenham on Friday this year, for the first time I just had a little thought in my head: 'Will I be back here next season?' 'It was the first time that thought had ever crept into my head. I didn't know. 'Part of me thought I would be back, part of me thought I wouldn't . 'I just said to myself leave it until June and get to the jockeys' break. I'd think about it all then.' Blackmore is in a long-term relationship with Brian Hayes. Though the couple keeps their personal life mostly out of the public eye, she did open up about their shared home life in a 2021 interview. "I live with two other jockeys, Patrick Mullins and Brian Hayes," she revealed. "It's a great house, located in Leighlinbridge, Carlow, close to all the big tracks in Ireland." She added: "We don't talk about racing half as much as people think. It's just a normal house when we come home." Blackmore recently shared a number of photos on Instagram, showing her enjoying a holiday, dinner, and social events with her friends and family, including Hayes. The trailblazer says she has not set plans despite retiring, but admits she will have 'a very different life' to the one she had previously. 'Even though retiring was probably a feeling inside me that I had kind of dampened down, it wasn't part of a massive plan to retire that Saturday, there is nothing set up but I am very lucky that I can take a few weeks and decide what might be next,' she said. 'It will be a very different life to the one I had previously."
