French band Phoenix are back on Irish shores for the first time in seven years.
Known for hits like Lisztomania and 1901, they are here as part of their Alpha Zulu tour, the same name as their 2022 album which was shaped by memories of Covid and the death of their friend and collaborator, Philippe Zdar.
Fans can, however, expect, a mix of songs from across Phoenix’s discography at their upcoming gig.
