The Horrors to play National Stadium Dublin gig later this year


The UK expansive UK rock band just released a new album called Night Life.
The Horrors have been announced for a gig at National Stadium in Dublin on Wednesday 19th November 2025 with Singular Artists.
Tickets on sale Friday March 28th at 9am and a presale is available via the promoter.
The band have some absolute classic songs and albums particularly 2009’s Primary Colours and 2011’s Skying, and some all-timer songs like ‘Sea Within A Sea’, ‘Something to Remember Me By’, ‘Still Life’ among them. Recent years have seen them move into a more industrial direction. Newest album Night Life is a return to gothic alternative rock music with electronic and ambient flourishes.
The Horrors dream it all up again as they approach 20 years of being a band in existence, with “a new form, with a new sonic outlook and a new line up centred around the core duo of vocalist Faris Badwan and bassist Rhys Webb, now joined by Amelia Kidd on keys and Telegram’s Jordan Cook on drums, making the new album the band’s first to not feature all 5 original members.”
Night Life is a record of weight and space, of melancholy and euphoria; a record that has the ability to make bedfellows of seemingly disparate ideas as only The Horrors can. The ‘Night Life’ here is not the vim and vigour of pubs and clubs. It’s the thoughts that happen under the cover of darkness; the places your mind takes you when the rest of the world is asleep. A record born out of a desire to revive the raw, instinctive spirit of the band’s early work.
