The Waterboys

Critically acclaimed as one of the best live bands on the planet, the 2025 band features double keyboard players Brother Paul from Memphis and James Hallawell from Cornwall and is grounded by killer Irish rhythm section Aongus Ralston (bass) and Eamon Ferris (drums). 

THE WATERBOYS will be performing tracks from their audacious new album, Life, Death and Dennis Hopper: a bold, cinematic tribute to the maverick American actor and cultural icon, along with material across their storied catalogue. From the early "big music" of The Whole Of The Moon and classic album This Is The Sea through to the roots-inspired Fisherman's Blues era and music from their ambitious post-2015 output.

Mike Scott comments: "The Waterboys live for the experience of playing, of feeling our music evolve and grow with each consecutive concert.  Nothing makes us happier than seeing a long list of dates like these.  How will the music change?  What will happen that's never happened before? How much fun and thrills can we and the audiences have?  Australia and New Zealand come and join us!"
