Alternative folk six-piece Madra Salach announce their debut Irish headline tour, kicking off in Cork on 5 February 2026, before continuing on to Clonakilty, Galway, Listowel, Limerick and finishing up in Dundalk’s infamous Spirit Store on Saturday, 15 February.

The news follows last week’s announcement of their debut EP, It’s a Hell of an Age featuring

recent singles “I Was Just A Boy” and "Blue & Gold" which have received high praise from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, So Young, The Independent and BBC Radio 6.

The group took the Irish circuit by storm this summer with rammed festival sets across the country, a sold-out debut London show at The George, highlighting that word of mouth can still result in feverish crowds showing up both here and across the pond.

Snapped up by Erin Barker from T-Time for management and having recently impressed at Left of the Dial, the band are one of the must-see acts at Live At Leeds, The Great Escape: First 50 and Eurosonic.

Introducing the band: Paul Banks (vocals), Adam Cullen (guitar), Jack Martin (mandolin/tin whistle/synth), Maxime Arnold (harmonium), Dara Duffy (drums), and Jack Lawlor (bass).

Madra Salach is the culmination of various influences (Lankum, The Pogues, Lisa O’Neill). The band members are also part of multiple alternative acts who are currently extremely active on the Irish emerging circuit (Fizzy Orange, Ten Hail Mary’s, Sultan Leroy, Softdrink Millionaire).

Catch them supporting Gurriers this November in The Button Factory, or at Other Voices in Dingle before they launch into a very packed 2026.
