Gurriers – announce headline shows for Ulster Hall Belfast / Vicar Street & 3Olympia Dublin

Dublin’s Gurriers return with the announcement of their much anticipated second album, Nobody’s Coming To Save You, released on 25 September 2026 via their new label home, Play It Again Sam.
(Pre-save/order HERE).

Alongside the announcement, the band today share the album’s fierce and unflinching title track and accompanying video, “Nobody’s Coming To Save You”, ahead of an extensive UK and European headline tour this autumn.

Premiered by BBC Radio 6 Music, the new single arrives as Gurriers continue their rapid ascent following the release of their acclaimed 2024 debut album, Come And See, which cemented them as one of the most vital new voices emerging from Ireland’s thriving alternative scene. It also follows recent single “Erasure”, a live favourite among fans.

Recorded between Donegal’s Attica Studios and Holy Mountain Studios in London, Nobody’s Coming To Save You was produced by Mark Bowen (Idles) and Loren Humphrey (Geese, Cameron Winter), alongside engineer Chris Fullard (Idles, Sunn O)))) and mixed by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Modest Mouse, Swans). The album captures Gurriers scaling up every element that made their debut so compelling – sharper dynamics, towering production and an even more urgent worldview.

Driven by pounding rhythms, jagged guitars and a vocal delivery balancing frustration with determination, the title track encapsulates that evolution perfectly. Speaking about the single, the band – comprised of Dan Hoff on vocals, Ben O’Neill on guitar, Mark MacCormack on guitar, Pierce Callaghan on drums and Charlie McCarthy on bass – explain:

“It’s a song that feels hopeless on its first listen, but if you look at it more deeply it’s a call to action, no one is going to rise up if everyone expects someone else to do it. We all have to do our part in creating the change.”

The track reflects Gurriers’ ability to transform disillusionment into momentum. What initially feels bleak gradually reveals itself as something more galvanising: a reminder that meaningful change requires collective action rather than passive expectation. The track started life in response to a particularly irksome review that criticised the band for “saying so many political things but having no answers”. “We’re a band, we’re not a political party! So I used a Vonnegut quote, and one from [American writer and activist] Rebecca Solnit – ‘Hope is an axe you can break down doors with’ – because I don’t have the answers, but these two people might?”
