Musician and singer CMAT has announced her biggest Irish shows to date, at St Anne's Park in Dublin and Cork's Musgrave Park.

CMAT will play at St Anne's Park on May 30th, 2026, and Virgin Media Park (Musgrave Park) on June 20th, 2026.

Tickets for the Irish dates go on general sale on Thursday, August 28th, tickets are priced from €59.90.

Mastercard cardholders have special access to Mastercard Presale tickets, starting from 10am on Tuesday, August 26th, until 10am Thursday, August 28th.

Her third album Euro-Country is released the following day, Friday, August 29th - it features the singles Running/Planning, The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station and Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, one of the biggest songs of the summer. The record dives deep into themes of economics, identity, fame and grief, all wrapped in CMAT’s unique blend of humour, drama and songwriting.

Euro-Country follows 2023’s acclaimed Crazymad, For Me, which earned her widespread recognition including a BRIT nomination for Best International Artist, and ‘Album of the Year’ nods from The Ivors, Mercury Prize and Ireland’s Choice Music Prize (which she won for her debut If My Wife New I’d Be Dead).

Her touring with The Very Sexy CMAT Band has reinforced her reputation as an engaging live act.

CMAT sid: “Euro-Country is, I think, the best thing I have ever made. I felt halfway through recording it was the most important record I’ve made for myself… mainly because it was making me go crazy.”

“I'm always going to make the work I want to make, because there is a little gremlin in my head that tells me if it’s shit. More than success, there’s a bigger gremlin that wants me to make music that’s really good. She’s brutal and has ruined my life at times, but she is the keeper of my life and she’s always right.”
