Picture This announce extra December shows in Castlebar

DUE to phenomenal demand, Picture This have added extra shows on their Home for Christmas Tour this December. The new dates are at the TF Royal Theatre in Castlebar on Thursday and Friday, December 18 and 19. Tickets are on sale now

These Christmas shows mark the band’s long-awaited return. After playing a sold out run of four coastal regions they never played before, the band naturally felt they had to bring their new show also to Belfast and Dublin this December

And as all four arena shows sold out in less than one hour, they are adding two exclusive warm-up shows in another town they never played before, Castlebar.

Witness the band’s unique theatrical show with a pub, its garden and a car park on stage; party moments of a pub lock-in paired with the stripped back emotions of a trad session; a journey through the band’s best of catalogue of four albums.

The announcement follows the release of their new single ‘Heart over Head’, a collaboration with German artist Joris and a reinvention of his huge domestic hit ‘Herz über Kopf’.

The track pairs Picture This’s trademark anthemic sound with Joris’ warmth and directness, bridging Irish alt-pop and German folk-pop in a powerful new version of a modern classic. The accompanying video, filmed across Dublin, captures the band in their element.
