Tullamore trio Chasing Abbey finally released their debut full-length, and Cyber Celt (out 18 September) is no polite folk handshake — it’s trad Irish bolts welded to electronic production, Gaeilge as a weapon, and a kick aimed at greed and colonialism.
Ronan Bell, Jonathan Byrne and Ted Conway spent a decade building platinum singles and a million online followers before this “debut,” which already feels like a manifesto. Kneecap lit the fuse; Chasing Abbey are carrying the charge — Íorónta, Greedy Pigs, Seachain — pride and defiance over beats that don’t quit.
The Cyber Celt World Tour already tore through sold-out Irish rooms, now crosses the US from 25 September to 29 October, and hits UK stops including London’s Scala on 4 November. Stream it, grab the coloured vinyl, join the uprising.
