PRESS RELEASE:

 
A NIGHT CELEBRATING THE CRANBERRIES

DOLANS, LIMERICK APRIL 25^TH

 

Thursday April 25^th is a night for all Cranberries fans!

 

Limerick’s esteemed music store Steamboat Music want to gather all fans to honour the release of The Cranberries final album ‘In The End’ releasing Friday April 26^th.

 

The event will be taking place in Dolan’s Upstairs venue and will be an amazing opportunity to hear the new album before its official release with a panel discussion from some very special guests.

 

Fans can gain access to the event by pre-ordering the album from www.steamboat.ie and this will guarantee entrance to the event Upstairs in ‘Dolans’  Limericks iconic venue,  numbers are limited.

 

Limericks finest and most iconic band will be honoured through the night, fans will be welcomed into the venue on the night at 9pm to a wealth of great Cranberries tunes, followed by a panel discussion on the bands history and impact this band from a small town has had on the music industry.

 

Niall Colgan, a close friend of the band will MC the event. The discussion will feature Deci Hogan (The Cranberries Stage Manager), Eoin Devereaux (historian and writer of liner notes on previous Cranberries albums) and Orla Colgan (Dolores O’Riordan’s secondary school music teacher),  fans will then get to hear the new album will then be played in full through a top quality sound system prior to its world-wide release on Friday April 26^th.

 

The new album ‘In the End’ is a collection of songs the late Limerick legend Dolores O’Riordan worked on prior to her tragic passing last January. “We knew this had to be one of the, if not the, best Cranberries album that we could possibly do”Noel Hogan, band mate said in a statement. Hogan and O’Riordan started work on the songs in May 2017 and had written and demoed 11 songs by that winter. “I can’t think of a more fitting way to commemorate the first anniversary of Dolores’ passing and to celebrate her life than to announce to the world the release of her final album with the band,” Eileen O’Riordan, Dolores’ mother, said in January.

 

About the event, Mark Carey owner of Steamboat Music say “To have an opportunity to host this once in a lifetime event is a real thrill for us. Not only have The Cranberries impacted the lives of so many people world wide, the effect they’ve had on their home town is immeasurable. To have the first listening party here in Limerick is really, really special and it’s an honour to have been approached to take on this event. Any fan of theirs and anyone that is simply a fan of music, this will be a fantastic event.”

UPDATE – 5 APRIL

The Cranberries posted on their socials (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) a message regarding the lyrics error, the actual stamp will have the correct lyrics “as it seems”

UPDATE – 8 MAY

The set of stamps has been delayed (very likely due to The Cranberries lyrics error) and the new date of issue is tomorrow, 9 May 2019. For the occasion the official “The Collector” (pdf) has been updated and lyrics are now correct!

The set of stamps is valid for both international (U2 + John McCormack) and national (The Cranberries + Luke Kelly) postage, see different face values.

The band announced yesterday that every upcoming Tuesday, they will be releasing a new series of  ‘track by track’ videos where you can hear them explain each track from “In The End” in their own words.

First video was published along with this announcement, where they talk about the latest released song “Wake Me When It’s Over” – Album Track #3

Next exclusive video on Tuesday!

Yesterday was the second promo day in Paris for the band. No public event this time!
Mike and Noel (without Fergal who was giving an interview to another media, see below) went to radio station RTL2 for “Le Drive RTL2”.

Then, still without Fergal, they talked to TV channel France 24. We haven’t yet found out if this video has been broadcast already or not, we’ll keep fans updated on this as soon as we shed light on this.
The Cranberries posted 6 photos both on their Facebook and Instagram accounts:

On his side, Fergal gave an interview to Nicky Beckett for Rock Art Fashion (rockartfashion.net), according to Nicky’s Instagram account. The interview should be published soon.

UPDATE:

The Cranberries may have recorded another show when they were at RTL2 yesterday. Radio host Stéphanie Renouvin posted this morning on Instagram a photo with Mike and Noel and, according to the hashtags, the show could be “Pop Rock Story”.
Again, we haven’t yet found out if the show was live broadcast or recorded for a later broadcast.

And last, still on Instagram, a photo posted yesterday by Pierre-Edouard Bellanca, who was the band’s interpreter:

The Cranberries were still in Paris today.
At 6.30pm they appeared on radio station RTL2 on the show “Le Drive RTL2”. Noel and Mike were interviewed during 20 minutes. The radio has live webcams in the studio, you can watch the video replay directly on the RTL2’s Facebook.

They also posted 2 photos on Twitter:

…and one more on Instagram:

The Cranberries also posted 2 photos, different photos, both on their Facebook and Instagram accounts:

A few hours before the broadcast, RTL2 posted an advert on their socials (Facebook, Twitter) to announce the event. It was not the exact same artwork, very close though:

The Cranberries are back on their promo tour. It started on Monday 25 in Dublin, on RTÉ Radio 1. No more information has leaked yet.

Today, the band was in Paris and gave interviews to the press, including radio station Europe 1 and TV Channel BFMTV, according to the following pics:

On the evening, they attended a Q&A with lucky winners for YouTubeMusic and Oui FM. 60 or so privileged fans got to listen to 3 new songs (Lost, Illusion, Crazy Heart) in an auditorium located 7 Rue Ballu in Paris.

For obvious reasons, mobile phones, cameras and any other kind of recorders were not allowed, and for now the only images of the event that surfaced were posted on the band’s Facebook as well as Noel and Mike’s Instagram accounts. Let’s note the band was not in the room while the audience was listening to the new songs, they only joined the crowd for the Q&A and answered questions for approximately 30 minutes.

Afterwards, fans were invited to a cold buffet and also had the opportunity to take a picture with the boys in front of a huge “In The End” artwork background. A very nice surprise for sure!

Noel wrote on Instagram, “we will be doing a few more of these in the coming weeks”.
From what we know, London and New York City are on the list.

Different promo posters specially made for the event were hanging on the auditorium walls, a few lucky fans got the chance to leave with some of them (thanks to @indo_matt and @misterdine):

The event was videotaped and should be broadcast in April on YouTube.
Special thanks to Laurent at BMG France.

Last week, the Limerick Leader announced that the second single “Wake Me When It’s Over” would be released on March 18th, which turned out not to be exact as the song was not available as expected at midnight that day.

As fans were waiting, a “Coming soon…” teaser was posted on The Cranberries socials (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) in the afternoon Monday 18th, which confirmed that the release was imminent. The (unknown back then) featured quote turned out to be taken from the very first lines of the song:

Later in the day, still Monday, a link from Japan (thanks to Ex-cranfan) revealed more information, including the official release date, March 19th, and the artwork/cover of the single in HQ.

However, as midnight was coming in every part of the world, the song was still not available on digital platforms (but leaked on a Russian website). Fans had to wait another post from the band on their socials (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) this morning Tuesday 19th, announcing an exclusive first play at midday on the Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio 2, exactly like it happened in January for the release of the first single, “All Over Now”.

EDIT – 2:00 pm (UTC)
The Jeremy Vine show is now just over and “Wake Me When It’s Over” appeared on digital platforms… “In The End” didn’t, still looks ready to play though, so it might be coming soon, however there is no information about that for now!

EDIT – 3:15 pm (UTC)
The song is now available on YouTube (both full and edit versions):

The Cranberries recently revealed in a few interviews (watch Radio Regenbogen video for instance) that the songs “Wake Me When It’s Over” and “In The End” will be released very soon, and “Wake Me When It’s Over” will be the 2nd single.

“Wake Me When It’s Over” will be released next Monday (18 March), as revealed last week by the Limerick Leader, probably starting at midnight on streaming platforms and to download.

However, it seems that the song “In The End” will/could also be released on the same date, as both songs have just appeared today on iTunes/Apple Music and are almost ready to play… and even if not yet working, we can see both durations.

“In The End” pre-release songs on iTunes

Let’s note that just like “The Pressure”, the song “In The End” should be another pre-release track the band wants to share and not a 3rd or 4th single.

Radio host Susi Makarewicz just posted on Instagram and Facebook a photo with The Cranberries to announce the broadcast of her interview with the boys recorded during their recent “In The End” promo tour in Germany.

Listen to the interview tonight at 10.00 pm (German time)

The information was revealed by the Limerick Leader, “Wake Me When It’s Over” should be the next single off the album “In The End”. Read their article directly on limerickleader.ie or click image below to access pdf file.

Let’s note that “Wake Me When It’s Over” should be the 2nd single as the song “The Pressure” released on March 1st was not the second single but just a pre-release track the band wanted to share (see the news update that includes Noel’s words about it).

“The Pressure” should be the 2nd single off the album “In The End” (track #10) and should be officially released tomorrow (March 1st) starting at midnight on streaming platforms.

Well… right now, it’s already tomorrow in Australia, the song has started to spread the internet (so it’s not a leak) and lyrics have already appeared on genius.com

EDIT: Now midnight in most European cities, March 1st, “The Pressure” just appeared on streaming platforms, Deezer, Spotify, iTunes/Apple Music etc…

UPDATE – MARCH 1

Noel Hogan just posted on Instagram to inform that “The Pressure” is NOT the second single but a new track they “wanted to share”.
Second single should thus be “Wake Me When It’s Over” as stated in the Radio Regenbogen interview posted yesterday on YouTube.
He also replied to 1tipsy that All Over Now’s video should be available next week.

Last day in Germany promoting “In The End” in Frankfurt, Baden-Baden and Mannheim. As usual now, the band posted a few photos on Instagram and Facebook:
