The Poxtail Soup Album Launch Tour kicks off in Dundalk's Mo Chara before winding its way through some of the country’s most iconic venues, landing in Waterford on the eve of the album release, and continuing into Cork, Limerick, and Kerry. Known for their explosive live shows, sharp wit, and fearless reimagining of Irish traditional music, the band will celebrate the launch with a string of very special dates across Ireland. 

Tour Dates:

With Poxtail Soup, Ispíní na hÉireann dive deeper into their unique blend of trad, storytelling, and satire, serving up both raucous anthems and moments of raw intimacy. The album promises to capture the full spectrum of the band’s sound, from wild, foot-stomping energy to sharp social commentary that cuts to the bone.
