Irish Times

Inhaler
, the Dublin four-piece fronted by
Elijah Hewson
, are set to bring their Open Wide tour back home. Having spent the first half of the year stage hopping around Europe and North America, this is the band's biggest Irish gig to date.
Released in February, Open Wide is the name of Inhaler's third studio album. Produced by Kid Harpoon, a hitmaker for the likes of Harry Styles and Florence & the Machine, the record proved something of a departure from the group's polished indie-rock template, incorporating pop sensibilities that have bled into Inhaler's live show.
With a stacked supporting cast and a historic park landscape, this promises to be a landmark homecoming.
When and where is it?
Inhaler play St Anne's Park in Clontarf, Dublin, on Friday May 30th.

What time should I arrive?
Gates open at 5pm, with the first act expected to take to the stage at 6pm. A full list of stage times is not yet available, so keep an eye on Inhaler's socials for more information on the day. The event should be finished up before 11pm.
There is no queueing allowed prior to gates opening, meaning you will be turned away if you arrive too early. Concertgoers are advised to arrive half an hour before the show starts.

What does the weather look like?
Temperatures should get to a high of 19 degrees, but Met Éireann has forecast spells of rain showers over the coming days, with breezier conditions than of late also expected.
