CMAT has announced a suite of UK and Ireland tour dates as she hits the promo trail for third album EURO-COUNTRY. Tickets for the tour are set to go on sale at 10am on Friday 4 April. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of the singer-songwriter’s UK and Ireland performances.

The album is set for release on Friday 29 August and has been trailed with new single ‘Running/Planning’, a soulful number about the pressures of success. CMAT said of the single: It’s about having to chase your own tail to be good enough to exist. It’s an abstracted view of societal pressure on women – specifically through a relationship lens: You start dating someone, you get engaged, you get married, you have kids etc etc etc… everything has to follow this linear pattern. (That’s the reason for the repetitive chorus!). And the minute you don’t follow that path, your mam starts giving out to you. 

‘That narrow path that everyone is supposed to be on… the minute you get outside of that, it gets incredibly stressful.’

Speaking about the LP, she said: ‘EURO-COUNTRY is, I think, the best thing I have ever made. I felt halfway through recording it was the most important record I’ve made for myself… mainly because it was making me go crazy.’

‘I'm always going to make the work I want to make, because there is a little gremlin in my head that tells me if it’s shit. More than success, there’s a bigger gremlin that wants me to make music that’s really good. She’s brutal and has ruined my life at times, but she is the keeper of my life and she’s always right.’

Starting at Belfast’s Boucher Playing Fields on Thursday 28 August, CMAT will then hit venues in London, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Nottingham, Cambridge, Brighton, Birmingham, Norwich, Sheffield and Bristol, with a culminating date at Dublin’s 3Arena on Friday 5 December.
