The Liverpool show will also include the return of The Bandits for their first show since 2004
Inhaler have announced their biggest UK headline shows to date – find out all the details below.
The Irish indie heroes announced two massive UK shows yesterday (May 19), both of which are set to take place in October. On October 11, Inhaler will take over the Liverpool M&S Bank Arena, where they’ll be joined by special guests The Snuts, and the return of The Bandits. It will mark The Bandits’ first show back since disbanding in 2004.
On October 31, Inhaler will headline the Royal Albert Hall in London, where they’ll be joined by currently undisclosed special guests.
Tickets to both shows will go on sale at 10am local time on Friday, May 23 – you’ll be able to snag tickets here.

The two shows will mark the end of Inhaler’s ‘Open Wide’ tour in support of their third album of the same name. The album arrived in February via Polydor Records and features hits like ‘Your House’, ‘Billy (Yeah Yeah Yeah)’ and its title track.
In a four-star review of ‘Open Wide’, Ali Shutler wrote for NME: “Throughout ‘Open Wide’, Inhaler display a powerful confidence that’s impossible to resist. Comforting, cathartic and heaps of fun, it’s the sort of record that sounds brilliant on headphones but will really come to life, say, as the sun sets on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage.”
Prior to Inhaler’s return to the UK this October, they’ll first perform in the region this weekend, with a handful of shows across the months leading up to October.
On May 24, they’ll perform at Radio 1’s Big Weekend alongside Sam Fender, Wolf Alice, Aitch and more. Over they next two days, they’ll perform at the Neighbourhood Weekender and the O2 Apollo Manchester accordingly.
On May 30, the band will perform a huge homecoming gig at St. Anne’s Park in Dublin. Find any remaining tickets (UK/Ireland) here.
June 29 will see them perform at Glastonbury, followed by the Scarborough Open Air Theatre and TRNSMT Festival on July 10 and 11 accordingly. You can find any remaining tickets to the aforementioned dates here.
