Last year, The Coronas moved to London. Which matters because, as anyone in Ireland will tell you, The Coronas are a Dublin band. This summer they played to 9,500 arms-aloft fans at Dublin’s Royal Hospital Kilmainham Park – but their sights are now focused further afield. Within months of their move, the band who battled the big boys in Ireland on their own indie label had signed a publishing deal with Big Life and been snapped up by Island Records, not on the strength of their previous achievements, but for their epic new album ‘The Long Way’, which was released in Ireland in November and shot straight into the charts at No.2. It will be released here in the UK on 9^th March 2015.

Boasting 3 double platinum albums they have sold out everywhere from Dublin’s 13,000 capacity o2 Arena to The Olympia Theatre, where they played a record-breaking six night run. They have supported Sir Paul McCartney, The Script, Justin Timberlake and Pink on tour. In October they played 3 sold out headline shows in the UK in London, Glasgow and Manchester. In March 2015, they will embark on a full UK headline tour.

THE CORONAS: The band originally formed when the members were just 15 and students in Terenure College. The band was initially known as ‘Kiros’ but changed its name and line-up three years later to ‘Corona’. When the Italian dance act Corona re-emerged, the band changed their name again to ‘The Coronas’. The band’s debut album Heroes Or Ghosts was released on the 5th of October 2007, debuting at no. 21 in the Irish album charts [1]. 

The band have appeared on RTE’s The Cafe, TV3’s event guide, Channel 6’s Popscene and numerous radio shows. The band won the Jack Daniels Set, showcasing new bands, in 2006.
Confirmed at Bristol Thekla
