2024 was a busy year for The Stunning. They released a music performance film ‘We Come Alive’ featuring a host of amazing Irish talent including Mundy, Mairtín O’Connor, Camille O’Sullivan, Zoe Conway to name just a few, and followed it up with a digital-only release of the accompanying soundtrack album of the same name, now available on all streaming platforms.

Following a brace of music festivals last summer they rounded off the year with a sold out Irish tour. Now the band are announcing the first round of dates for 2025.

Formed in 1987 in Galway city, The Stunning took Ireland by storm and shifted the focus from a Dublincentric rock scene to the provinces, paving the way for many more artists to come. They toured relentlessly releasing a string of hit singles and two number one albums and built a following that would make them one of the most popular Irish bands ever amongst a new generation of young Irish people for whom emigration was not a prerequisite

The band have been together now for 38 years. The same five lads that gathered in an old farmhouse to play music all those years ago in Galway are still enjoying the buzz of playing to fans old and new. Their live shows are a testament to their musicianship and a catalogue of songs that have stood the test of time and still sound fresh and relevant today.

Songs such as Everything that Rises, Half Past Two, Romeo’s on Fire, Heads are Gonna Roll and are still to be heard on the radio today while Brewing up a Storm has become a sort of unofficial anthem for Irish people all over the world.
