Halifax-raised, Montreal-based rock band Wintersleep will tour across Europe following the release of their sixth studio album The Great Detachment.

Written in Wintersleep’s Montreal studio, The Great Detachment was then recorded at Halifax's Sonic Temple studio with long-time producer Tony Doogan (Belle & Sebastian, Mogwai).

Wintersleep have only begun to perform tracks from their new album live this week, meaning the Irish crowd will some of the first people to hear these new songs in the flesh.

Wintersleep will play at Whelan's on June 13. Tickets €17.50 including booking fee go on sale at 10am this Thursday April 13.
