The Murder Capital Embarks On First Ever North American Tour

Today, Dublin's The Murder Capital confirms their first North American tour in cities including Brooklyn, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Vancouver, as well as their debut at Austin's SXSW. The tour, throughout March and April of 2020, marks the band's first visit to the US and Canada, and is in support of their debut album When I Have Fears. The Fader hails the group as "one of a raft of exciting new bands emerging out of Ireland right now" and in their five star review, The Guardian calls the album "an outstanding debut from a great new band who play it like they mean it." Tickets for all North American dates, the majority of which are all ages (full details below), will go on sale here on Friday, November 15 at 10am local time.

Produced by Flood (PJ Harvey, New Order, Foals) When I Have Fears reached a Top 20 chart position in the UK, and a #2 position in their native Ireland. The album is available on all formats, including limited edition gatefold marbled rust LP, black LP, as part of a limited bundle (limited edition gatefold marbled rust LP, t-shirt, pin & journal), CD and as a digital download here.

Based on the caustic strength of one live recording of "More Is Less", which went viral on YouTube, and feverish word of mouth, The Murder Capital have built a formidable reputation. In just over a year, they've sold out headline shows all over Europe, and played with Slaves, Shame, IDLES and fellow countrymen Fontaines DC. Along with these new North American shows, the band have also confirmed a number of European dates for 2020, including their biggest London headline show to-date at Electric Ballroom. The Murder Capital recently completed a sold out UK headline tour and are playing across Europe in November. Tickets and full information about these dates are available here.
