Tonight Alive – will make their anticipated return to Ireland this May

Tonight Alive will make their anticipated return to Ireland this May, marking their first shows in the territory in eight years. With appearances at Slam Dunk Festivals alongside two European headline shows, the run follows the band’s recent break from hiatus after a string of performances across Australia and America. The band’s return to Europe promises an ecstatic and emotional reunion with fans.

Tonight Alive formed in 2008, emerging as a powerful force in Sydney’s alternative scene and quickly earning a reputation as one of Australia’s most trailblazing femme-led bands. Rising from the underground with grit and vision, the band built a global following throughout the 2010s, releasing three albums via Sony Music and Fearless Records, followed by a fourth with Hopeless Records and UNFD.

Honed by relentless international touring, Tonight Alive shared stages with scene heavyweights including All Time Low and Pierce the Veil, and appeared at iconic festivals such as Vans Warped Tour, Reading & Leeds, and the inaugural Good Things Festival in 2018. Renowned for their cathartic, high-energy live shows, the band is fronted by Jenna McDougall, whose voice and message resonated deeply with a generation of outcasts and seekers.

Drawing influence from the golden era of early-2000s pop punk, the band’s evolution has included collaborations with their heroes: Mark Hoppus (Blink-182) on Thank You and Goodnight, Benji Madden (Good Charlotte) on Breakdown, and Corey Taylor (Slipknot) on My Underworld. Their music has also featured on major platforms including The Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack (The Edge) and Guitar Hero Live (The Ocean), further cementing their cultural impact.Celebrated for their unwavering commitment to authenticity, Tonight Alive have built a legacy defined not just by sound, but by spirit. Following a four-year hiatus, the band returned in 2024 with comeback appearances at When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas and two sold-out hometown shows. Good Things 2025 marks one of a select number of appearances as the band embraces a redefined relationship with touring.
