Northern Irish three-piece ASH are pleased to announce a headline Belfast show at The Limelight 1 on Thursday 20th December 2018. The band released their seventh studio album 'Islands' earlier this year to critical acclaim and are touring the UK and Ireland to celebrate its release.

Islands is the new album by Northern Irish rock group Ash. The trio's seventh studio collection, released in May of this year on Infectious Music, it's an open-hearted set of songs dealing with love and loss, friendship and betrayal, identity, salvation, redemption and rebirth… all the important stuff. Pound-for-pound, it's also the strongest, most exhilarating long player of Ash's storied 26-year career, an album which reaffirms the trio's status as one of the most idiosyncratic and singularly thrilling guitar bands on these islands.

The title of the band's new album alludes to the unique environments in which its constituent songs were birthed. In the spring of 2016, following a whirlwind Japanese tour to close out the touring cycle for 2015's Kablammo! album, Ash frontman Tim Wheeler undertook a visit to the picturesque island of Naoshima, renowned worldwide for its modern art installations, architecture and sculptures. Wheeler found the island's tranquil, meditative atmosphere conducive to both reflection and creativity, and as he immersed himself in his craft, new song ideas began to ferment and flow.
