The Coronas - "Thoughts & Observations" Tour 2025

In the organizer's words:

In an ever-changing music industry, the longevity of THE CORONAS is impressive and deserves real recognition. Their alternative rock with pop appeal, often with big arrangements and some catchy anthems on the setlist, is often compared to Coldplay.

Their early hits such as "San Diego Song", "Heroes or Ghosts" and "Addicted to Progress" lend their concerts a magical touch of nostalgia. But that's not all: they have managed to constantly evolve and have successfully released new material in the last decade. Their last three albums have gone straight to number one in the Irish charts, while their fanbase abroad has grown exponentially - sold-out tours in the USA, Canada and Australia underline this success.

"When we started the band, people were still buying CDs, we were a student band that got popular by word of mouth," explains frontman Danny O'Reilly. "We've been through the download phase, legal and illegal, the resurgence of vinyl, right up to the current evolution of the music industry, the era of streaming and TikTok dances. THE CORONAS have always ignored a lot of these trends and fashions and have always seen ourselves first and foremost as a live band. For us, it's always been simple: we pride ourselves on releasing good songs and improving our live performance with every show and album."

This formula seems to have worked for THE CORONAS. The band is known for being one of Ireland's best live acts. They have been headlining major shows and festivals in their home country for almost 15 years, and their regular Christmas shows at the Olympia Theatre are legendary.

In September 2024 THE CORONAS will release their eighth studio album "Thoughts & Observations", the follow-up to their #1 album (Irish charts) "Time Stopped" from 2022.
