No the implication isn’t that The Academy doesn’t normally have fun in it. It most certainly does but this time a New York band called Fun., who released their debut album ‘Aim and Ignite’ in 2009 but just released that difficult second album in February. That album is called ‘Some Nights’. You may have already heard them on the radio with their track We Are Young (see video below). It’s the first alt/rock track to top the Billboard Hot 100 since Viva La Viva by Coldplay.
They will be over to Dublin to play The Academy on Saturday 6th October. Tickets for this one are €17.35 inclusive of booking fee and they go on sale Friday 11th May at 9am. Tickets are available from Ticketmaster.ie and outlets nationwide.
Support on the night will come from Walk The Moon.
