James Vincent McMorrow has announced a major Irish National Tour, taking place in Limerick, Cork, Killarney, Dublin, Belfast, Galway and Kilkenny from November 24 2024.

The 2024 Irish winter tour will see the Dublin artist play his latest album Wide open, horses. The album release follows the singles "Never gone," "Give up," "Call me back," and "Things we tell ourselves," and the announcement of an extensive tour across Ireland and North America.

Wide Open, Horses is a candid snapshot of everything that has brought McMorrow to this point. The album signifies a retaking of his narrative, a freeing self-acceptance, and a rebuilding of both his sense of self and his connection to music.

McMorrow says on the album, "To me, the album is about finding relief from the cycle of life’s pressure. I don’t think the theory ‘modernity equals better’ holds much water these days".

Explaining, the musician adds: "The more technology we add, the more unhappy everyone seems to be. I don’t want to move backwards, but I felt a sense of nostalgia and happiness in the album.

"It would be grandiose of me to think I could offer you some profound release through words and lyrics, but maybe I can…The job is to make a record I love and hopefully offer a respite. Maybe we can all get back to a life where we aren’t so obsessed with trying to seek out meaning from absolutely everything.”

Tickets will be available here this Friday, at 10am.
