The single releases weeks before the band set off on their Irish tour and marks their third single release of 2022.

Irish band Wild Youth have released their brand new single 'Modern Colosseum', their third release of the year.

Already sitting at number two on the Irish iTunes charts, this highly-anticipated track has given the band's fans everything they've been looking for.

Lyrically and instrumentally strong, the meaning behind the song is quite emotional. Stand out lyrics include: "It's hard to believe in love/tonight don't believe in any old Jesus/I don't believe in leaders, preachers/dancing on the TV/fucking your freedom."

Epic drum beats and a catchy melody fronts the track, with the poignant message masked by frontman David Whelan's incredible pop vocal.

The quartet have released 'Modern Colosseum' just over a week before they begin their Irish tour, with dates in Limerick, Cork, Galway and Dublin.
