Irish alternative-folk six-piece Madra Salach have announced a UK headline tour for Autumn 2026, continuing their rapid rise over the last 6 months.
Kicking off in Exeter on September 30th, the tour will see the band return to key cities like Manchester and Glasgow, while also making first-time appearances in Cardiff, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, and Oxford.
The announcement follows the success of their debut EP, It’s a Hell of an Age, which reached No. 3 on the Irish Albums Chart and broke into the Top 10 of the UK Official Independent Albums Chart. The release features fan favourites such as The Man Who Seeks Pleasure and Blue & Gold, alongside their takes on traditional songs like Spancil Hill and Murphy Can Never Go Home, both of which were staples of their early Dublin sessions.
Formed through Dublin’s indie scene, the group bonded over a shared love of Irish traditional music, initially coming together for impromptu pub sessions. Now signed to Island Records, they’re currently building unstoppable momentum through festival appearances, a support slot at KNEECAP’s major Crystal Palace show in June, and their inclusion on The Songs of Shane MacGowan, an upcoming all-star tribute album to the late Pogues frontman.
Tickets for Madra Salach’s UK headline tour are on sale now.
