The band's debut album 'Halcyon' reached #1 in Ireland and #7 in the UK, contributing to the high demand for tickets.

A "dream beyond dreams": According to the Irish Independent, bassist Eoin "Fitz" Fitzgibbon said that selling out Dublin's Olympia was a "dream of a dream." The band has gone "beyond anything we ever even let ourselves dream of".

Seeing the world: Lead vocalist Eddie Keogh described the band's first American tour as "incredible," especially since it was the first time two of the members had been to the US. He mentioned seeing Niagara Falls, Nashville, and Red Rocks, calling the experience "so many highlights".

Enjoyment is key: The band has said their main motivation isn't fame but the love of playing music. "We're not so obsessed with blowing up, more just getting the opportunity to do this for the rest of our lives," Fitzgibbon explained. "It rarely feels like a job".

The "twilight zone": Keogh admits that the speed of their rise has been difficult to grasp. After they started selling out major venues, he said, "I think that's as far as my brain was willing to let itself get to when we started. Now we're in the twilight zone".
