Irish Indie rockers The Academic will end their five-year-long term of touring with a finalé at Leisureland on Saturday, December 23.
Having toured across the world since releasing their hit-laden debut album Tales From The Backseat in 2018, The Academic’s sophomore record, Sitting Pretty was released in February this year. Going straight to the top of the Irish album charts, it gave the Westmeath quartet their second consecutive Number One album.
Adding to the already impressive catalogue of indie anthems such as ‘Bear Claws’, ‘Different’, and ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends’, Sitting Pretty gives us even more massive sing-alongs such as ‘Don’t Take It Personally’, ‘My Very Best’ and ‘Pushing Up Daisies’. These became some of the biggest festival songs this summer.
It has been a busy year for the band having toured relentlessly across the world and the boys are excited to be on home soil. Craig Fitzgerald says: “We are so excited to be bringing the Sitting Pretty Tour back to Ireland. It’s been a whirlwind of a year, and we have got to play in so many new countries but coming back to Ireland to finish off the year is something that we are all really excited for.”
Tickets €36 from www.roisindubh.net Under-16s must be accompanied.
