Sliotar exists to play music, but not just to play some music. Take the music, spike it up with some homemade moonshine and fill the room with it, you get addicted!
On Sliotars new album Fine Friends we stripped things back to basics. Sliotar has been a band for over 16 years now (where’s our medal?) and in that time all of us have grown and got older I suppose but the fire and passion for us to play music is even stronger today than it has ever been. With age comes wisdom, or so they say anyway… in our case we just got to the point where we didn’t care anymore about how music is supposed to be played or what other people in the Irish music scene think about us. Now we play music the way we want and the only feedback we look for is the reaction of our audience.
In the past 10 years or so, Sliotar has played an unbelievable amount of concerts. The Stage has become a place where we can forget about the worries of everyday life and let go. This is our love and our passion!

This summer we will be touring around Europe quite extensively. We will be playing in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Czech Rep. Austria and Italy. We are still hoping to fill in more dates and add to this list, but as it is, it’s already a quite impressive tour, maybe even the biggest we have ever done. If we are not coming to play near you, but you would like us to, it is not because we don’t want to. It is because we just don’t have the contacts in place. But there is something you can do to help us. You can spread the word of Sliotar, share our website, Facebook page, twitter and youtube with as many people you can. I mean if there is 300 people from your area who like Sliotar on facebook, it is much easier for us to organize a concert there.
There will be more details and updates on the tour very shortly, but for now, thank you for your support and we hope to see you on the road!
