It’s been an eventful year for The Academic that’s seen them top the charts with their debut album ‘Tales From The Backseat’ featuring the hit single Bear Claws. They’ve sold-out shows around the globe including Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens and opened for The Rolling Stones in Croke Park. The Mullingar four-piece intend to finish off the year in style when thy return to Vicar Street for a headline date this December.

Lead singer Craig Fitzgerald says; “Vicar Street is like our spiritual home, it is our favourite venue in the country. We have been out of the country for most of the year, travelling all over the world playing shows but we always had it in our head to make sure we could get a show in at Vicar Street before the end of the year for all the Irish fans. There is no place like it, it is going to be a big night”

The Academic at Vicar Street Saturday, 15th December 2018. Tickets €25 inclusive of booking fee – on sale Friday at 9AM
