Five-piece pop band Soft Launch have announced their first Irish headline gig, set to take place in Dublin’s The Academy 2 on October 1.

The show will take place as part of the band’s Room For 5? UK and Ireland headline tour, which will kick off in Dublin and wrap up in London’s The Garage on October 15.

It follows the release of Soft Launch’s first two singles 'Cartwheels’ and ‘Piano Hands’, with the band describing the latter as “an arm around the shoulder for people deep in thought and deep in debt.”
