Ireland’s The Coronas Will Play World Cafe Live on July 23 in Support of "Thoughts & Observations" album
Ireland’s popular indie band The Coronas are set for their 2025 North American tour in support of their 8th studio album, Thoughts & Observations, beginning on July 11. Thoughts & Observations, released last fall, became the band’s fourth consecutive album to capture the #1 slot on the Irish charts its first week of release. The tour, which includes two major dates in Canada and finishes off at the annual Irish Fair of Minnesota where they will headline the inaugural Ceol by the River Event on August 7, will follow the band’s debut at the iconic Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England which took place on June 28th.

As its provocative title suggests, Thoughts & Observations addresses relationships at their various stages and the resilience it takes to shoulder life’s ups and downs. Fueled by heavy doses of both candor and emotion, the 12 original songs written by the three band members--lead vocalist/guitarist Danny O’Reilly, bass guitarist Graham Knox and drummer Conor Egan—along with a host of songwriting collaborators, are at times anthemic, at times delicate, at times cynical, but always authentic. The core band members also embraced the talents of their touring supergroup on this album with Lar Kaye (All Tvvins) on guitar, Cian MacSweeney (True Tides) on saxophone and Roisin O on backing vocals for the recording and as well as the forthcoming tour.
Available via the band’s SoFarSoGood imprint, distributed by Blix Street Records, the album has been lauded as the band’s most dynamic, yet introspective, music to date. “It’s jam-packed with rugged songs, straight-from-the-heart conviction and true-life emotion, all woven together superbly by producer George Murphy.” – Hot Press
“…fantastic melodies, catchy vocal hooks and airy production, you cannot help but see everything you ever cared about flash before your eyes when listening.” – Cryptic Rock
“Dotted amid the honeyed piano ballads are anthems written for big singalongs by the light of 10,000 mobile-phone torches.” -- The Irish Times
Playing Glastonbury has been a long-time dream for the Dublin-based band. That appearance was positioned in between high-profile Irish summer festival dates, among them King John’s Castle in Limerick, The Haven in Waterford, Kaleidoscope Festival in Wicklow, The Farmers Bash in Belfast and Wexford’s Spiegeltent.
The Coronas perform at World Cafe Live on July23rd, doors at 7pm - show at 8pm, grab tickets HERE.
