Swords announced a string of dates for their debut Irish tour on the back of the release of their critically-acclaimed Black Balloon EP. The Dublin-based trio will embark on a 9 date tour across the country, taking in festival performances at We:Sessions Festival, Vantastival and Strawberry Fest along the way. The tour will kick off with a free show in Tower Records, Dublin, on 22nd March.
Black Balloon was launched back in February to a sold out Grand Social venue in Dublin where Swords lashed through a 1 and half hour set of their own electronic tinged soulful indie tracks and the EP reached number 1 in the Irish iTunes Electronic charts the same month.
The full tour dates are:
22nd March - Tower Records, Dublins
12th April - We: Session Festival
1st May - ITT, Horans, Tralee
