AUGUSTINES

ugustines have announced a return to Belfast’s Empire Music Hall on Friday 28 October, with tickets going on sale next Friday, 6 May at 9am.

Augustines release When Things Fall Apart, the new single taken from their upcoming album, This Is Your Life, on via Caroline International, due on 10th June 2016.

Fresh from their own sold out Electric Ballroom and Manchester shows, and dates with Noel Gallagher in Europe, Augustines will play selected festivals over the summer. They will later return to the UK for a full headline tour that also includes their biggest headline show to date, at London’s Brixton Academy


Recorded in New Orleans and Los Angeles with long-time associate Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Frightened Rabbit), This Is Your Life, the group’s third LP, follows 2014’s eponymous second album, the release of which was supported with expansive touring that culminated in a sold out headline date at London’s legendary Roundhouse (cap. 3300), a show that was filmed for use in an upcoming documentary about the band.

Ahead of the album’s release and the band’s recent shows, Augustines’ lead singer Billy McCarthy has also just completed a solo European tour, Journals, Maps, Stories and Songs, a mixture of (as its title suggests) autobiographical stories and songs from this charismatic and captivating frontman that was rightly hailed “a jaw-dropping, knockabout oddyssey” [The Independent *****”].

Pre-sale tickets for the October tour go on sale on Wednesday 4th May from 9am (general sale starts at 9am on Friday 6th May). Sign up or pre-order the album at weareaugustines.com for priority access.
