Cry Before Dawn first formed in Wexford in 1982. Masterfully combining the intensity of guitar-driven
rock with the rich heritage of traditional Irish pipes and whistles, this fusion creates a powerful and
dynamic sound that sets them apart in the music scene.
The band has reached incredible heights with two double platinum-selling albums and a collection of
prestigious national awards. Among these, they won “Best Newcomer” in 1987 and “Best Irish Group” in
1989, showcasing their widespread acclaim and popularity across the nation. Renowned for their
passionate and electrifying performances, they gained a dedicated following through extensive live shows
in Ireland, the UK, and the USA, and sold-out Ireland's National Stadium on two memorable occasions.
After a break, Cry Before Dawn reunited in 2011, marking the occasion with the release of a “Best Of” CD,
the new single “Is This What You Waited For,” and a live album titled “Live at the Opera House.” Their
return was met with excitement, and they subsequently embarked on tours throughout Ireland and the
UK.
In 2023, a rejuvenated Cry Before Dawn returned to the stage, performing at key festivals and sell-out
headline shows across the country, earning rave reviews from the press that celebrated their return.
As they entered 2024, the band launched an extensive nationwide tour, selling out major venues across
the country, including two consecutive nights at the Wexford Spiegeltent and three unforgettable nights
at the iconic Whelan’s Main Venue in Dublin. Their explosive performances at prominent international
festivals like Forest Fest and Night & Day further reinforced their status as one of Ireland’s premier live
acts.
To coincide with their 2025 Irish Tour dates, the band have recently completed recording their first new
material in over 10 years, produced by Grammy nominated Chris O’Brien and Graham Murphy at The
Production Suite Dublin. A new single “Open Water” will be released on Wednesday June 04, followed by
a 6 track EP release on Friday August 01.
