Microdisney announce Dublin show following successful comeback gig

Tickets go on sale this Friday.

Cork band Microdisney has announced their plans to take to the stage and perform in Dublin at an exclusive Vicar Street show in February 2019. Three decades after they formed, the band got back together to perform their seminal album, The Clock Comes Down the Stairs at the National Concert Hall and The Barbican in 2018. Having enjoyed that experience, the band will play a fully standing show at Vicar Street. “We were genuinely moved by the response to the 2018 shows, and we feel it’s right to play once more, to a standing audience at Vicar St, and to offer a fresh slant on the Microdisney songbook," lead vocalist Cathal Coughlan said on the announcement. Many regard the album as the greatest Irish record ever, with John Peel describing Microdisney’s The Clock Comes Down the Stairs as “the iron fist in a velvet glove”. It was released on Rough Trade records in 1985, reaching No. 1 in the UK Indie Charts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1drcINSwOWw Clip via National Concert Hall Tickets are priced at €45 and go on sale this Friday, 17 August at 9am.
