The Academic to perform in Limerick this December
INDIE rock band The Academic will make their return to Limerick for a gig that is “not to be missed.”
The band will perform live at The Big Top in The Milk Market this December and the tickets will be on sale this Friday.
Having toured across the world since releasing their hit laden debut album ‘Tales From The Backseat’ in 2018, The Academic’s sophomore record, ‘Sitting Pretty’ was released in February this year. Going straight to the top of the Irish album charts it gave the Westmeath quartet their second consecutive No.1 album.
Adding to the already impressive catalogue of indie anthems such as Bear Claws, Different, Why Can’t We Be Friends, Sitting Pretty, gives us even more big sing-along’s such as Don’t Take It or Pushing Up Daisies, which have become some of their biggest festival songs this summer.
It’s been a busy year for the band having toured relentlessly across the world and the boys are now excited to be on home soil.
Lead vocalist, Craig Fitzgerald, said: “We are so excited to be bringing the ‘Sitting Pretty’ Tour back to Ireland. It’s been a whirlwind of a year, and we have got to play in so many new countries but coming back to Ireland to finish off the year is something that we are all really excited for.”
Announcing the news, Mick Dolan said: “Delighted to welcome the band back to Limerick after an incredible year for the band. One not to be missed.”
Tickets will be on sale this Friday, September 15 from 10am via dolans.ie
