Cry Before Dawn

Saturday 2nd August @ 8pm
  • Cry Before Dawn

Cry Before Dawn first formed in Wexford in 1982, and fuse guitar driven rock with traditional Irish pipes and whistles to create a uniquely powerful and dynamic sound.

The band has 2 Double Platinum selling albums to their name as well as prestigious national awards. These include “Best Newcomer” in 1987 and “Best Irish Group” in 1989, reflecting the huge popularity of the band across the country. Their reputation for passionate and driven performances grew through their extensive live work in Ireland, the UK and the USA, and saw them sell out Ireland's National Stadium on two occasions

Having parted company for many years, Cry Before Dawn reformed in 2011 which coincided with the release of a “Best Of” CD, followed by a new single “Is This What You Waited For” and a new live album, “Live at the Opera House” as well as tours of Ireland and the UK. In 2023 a re-energised Cry Before Dawn took to the road, and played a series of key festivals and sell out headline shows around the country which attracted glowing press reviews

2024 has seen the band embark on a lengthy nationwide tour, once again selling out multiple major venues around the country including two consecutive shows at the Wexford Spiegeltent, and three nights at the legendary Whelan’s Main Venue in Dublin. Explosive performances at major international festivals such as Forest Fest and Night & Day during the summer has cemented their reputation as one of Ireland’s finest live bands.
