Inhaler are set to release their new album OPEN WIDE in February, and a few weeks later they’ll be hitting the wide open road. The Dublin rock band have announced a run of North American tour dates that will take them through the East Coast and South this winter.
The tour will launch in Toronto on Feb. 28 and wrap up in Dallas on March 19, with stops in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Austin, and Washington, DC along the way. The North American leg is part of an international schedule that will see Inhaler perform in the UK, Europe, South America, and Japan next year. Tickets for the North American shows go on sale this Friday, Nov. 22 at 10 a.m. local time.
For OPEN WIDE, their third full-length album, Inhaler joined forces with producer Kid Harpoon, known for his work with stars like Harry Styles, Florence & The Machine, Miley Cyrus, and Maggie Rogers. The band reportedly pulled inspiration from a wide range of influences for this set of songs, from techno to Nick Cave. They recently shared “Your House,” the lead single from the 13-song set, featuring backing vocals from House Gospel Choir.
“We’re an ambitious band that wants to create anthemic music, particularly when things feel so destructive,” Inhaler frontman Elijah Hewson says of the track. “’Your House’ is about belonging to someone or something that’s bad for you. The verse is blasé but the chorus feels spiritual. I love that contrast.”
Inhaler have become one of the breakout success stories of the 2020s. The band’s 2021 debut album It Won’t Always Be Like This hit No. 1 in the UK and Ireland, while 2023’s Cuts & Bruises repeated at No. 1 in Ireland and reached No. 2 in the UK. To date they’ve tallied more than 500 million streams and toured with music royalty including Arctic Monkeys, Pearl Jam, Harry Styles, and Kings of Leon. Last year, in their biggest headlining show to date, they sold out the 13,000-capacity 3Arena in their hometown of Dublin.
