The Murder Capital Tickets

Praised by critics since their debut album When I Have Fears in 2019, The Murder Capital are now among the most representative and esteemed bands of some energetic and abrasive post-punk of the first decades of 2000, has its nerve centre in Ireland and the UK and a successful global spread.

The very existence of the Irish quintet, composed by singer James McGovern, guitarists Damien Tuit and Cathal Roper, bassist Gabriel Paschal Blake and drummer Diarmuid Brennan, is rooted in finding hope in tragedy and therefore, after five years of experiencing the death of close friends and family, the release of two excellent albums, a pandemic, a long series of tours including one opening at Nick Cave in 2022 and a rich festival season full of people, everything is actually turning in favor of their career, despite the painful conditions that contributed to the birth of the band.

The Murder Capital were formed in Dublin in 2018 and music was a way to help them overcome their grief following the suicide of a close friend of James' and the long-term illness and subsequent death of Blake’s mother. All this helped create an intense bond between the five from the very beginning, and the need to take care of each other and continually cultivate their relationships and well-being became a crucial part of their essence as a band.
