With support slots to the likes of the Dave Matthews Band, The Coral, and The Arctic Monkeys under their belts, you will not want to miss this very exclusive show.
They very nearly didn't make it; having scored early chart-topping Irish success, the band suffered the collapse of their label Pinnacle, then hit a creative wall, and saw singer Ronan walk out. The remaining members decided to plough on, until Ronan suddenly returned, tail between legs, and Delorentos were back on track.
