The series will be available for streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ starting 8 April.
Happy Birthday Fergal.
Speculation correct!
On 25 February 2026, Dave LaMattina (one of the filmmakers of the documentary) posted on a Facebook group that Fergal Lawler would make an appearance at the Dublin International Film Festival for a Q&A session about the film.
Below the first photo to surface taken by Anne Murray O’Craobhach who attended the event and shared it on the Facebook group. Hopefully some more photos/videos of the Q&A will be shared soon.
Thanks to Jason once again for digging this up!
UPDATE · 4 MARCH
A new photo posted on Instagram by Erin Nicole Parisi. Thanks to her.
“EYE OF THE STORM”
An exhibition of Storm Thorgerson editions from 23 February to 19 March 2026 at The Long Gallery in Tilford (UK).
The giant eye from The Cranberries (famous/infamous) album cover is on display. CCA Galleries posted a short video on their socials (Facebook for instance) about it.
Announced yesterday on Dublin Airport’s socials (Facebook for instance), a brand new wall in the arrivals corridor of Pier 2 to celebrate iconic Irish artists, including The Cranberries among a few others, with immersive sound, lighting and bold visuals to create a vibrant musical welcome for passengers.
The year 1995, a short introduction in both Irish and English, and a photo from the (1993!) New York City shoot by Bob Berg were selected for The Cranberries.
As you may remember, Fergal made an appearance at the SCAD Festival in October 2025 as music composer for the documentary “Don Bluth: Somewhere Out There”
The documentary is not available on streaming services yet but will be shown at the Dublin International Film Festival 2026 in a few days, on 28 February.
Will Fergal make an appearance? We have no information and this is only speculation, but it does seem very likely. For any fans in Dublin/Ireland who want to watch the film (and hear Fergal’s musical composition), and maybe meet the man, details for the film’s screening are here: Dublin International Film Festival 2026
Thanks to Jason once again for the info!
Soundtrack highlights from the Netflix series “Wednesday” (Season 2) have been released on CD and LP. The “Zombie” version performed by Bella Poarch from the episode #4 appears on the record along with the soundtrack version.
Available on amazon.com and any good record shop.
Yesterday in Dublin in a full-house 3Arena were the 50th anniversary celebrations of Hot Press magazine. A special event/concert named “Hot Press 50 · History In The Making”
Among many artists, featured Mike and Noel Hogan for a special performance with Dermot Kennedy, just like it happened at Electric Picnic last year (without the full orchestra!)
The set was possibly 4 songs, three from The Cranberries, “Linger”, “Zombie”, “Dreams”, and one from Dermot Kennedy, “Funeral” (the first single of his 3rd album).
“Linger” was definitely the opening, “Dreams” the last one, so “Funeral” and “Zombie” were possibly the second and third ones, or the opposite.
Dermot Kennedy shared a few Instagram Stories from the show (videos and photos) as well as a few snippets from the rehearsals and soundcheck earlier in the day. Have a look before they disappear!
The 4 songs filmed in 4K from the front row were shared on YouTube by user Kjed4ever.
Special thanks to her!
Also available, the live report published by Hot Press on hotpress.com
The “Uncertain” page on the UK store was updated today with 2 major changes. The vinyl is now listed as 140g instead of 180g originally and the release date is now 13 February instead of 6 March.
Those who already ordered have also received an email from universal:
Let’s note that the same page on the US store (see screenshot below) does not mention the 180g anymore, nor 140g. Weird! Then comes a question, are there 2 different pressings (US and UK/Europe) or is there only one (the US one) arriving in Europe next week and in fact 140g? Time will tell…
EDIT: US PRESSING ONLY!
Supposed to be shipped in 2 days… a few American fans already received their “Uncertain” copy TODAY! Custom-Numbered Stamp limited to 1,200 copies.
Special thanks to Saeed Ali for the photos; he says the sound quality is great as well as the cover art!
Just posted on The Cranberries Instagram, a short video with Fergal presenting the new EP.
Limited to 1,200 copies.
Celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the “Uncertain” EP this year (originally released in October 1991), The Cranberries debut EP is reissued today in a special remastered edition cranberry-color 180g vinyl pressed at 45 RPM and with numbered deluxe jacket.
Available on the official store of the band here (US, shipping next week) or here (UK, shipping in March) as well as a T-Shirt and a Crewneck.
The EP is also streaming everywhere.
The rare and never officially released “Uncertain” music video was also posted on YouTube for the occasion, remastered in HD and including a few extra frames!
Possibly not the best day for that kind of news, but Dermot Kennedy, Noel and Mike Hogan have just been announced as the latest additions to the line-up for the special event “Hot Press 50 · History In The Making · The Concert”
It will take place next month, 6 February 2026, in Dublin at 3Arena as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of Hot Press magazine and including the launch of a special limited edition book “History In the Making: The Book of Hot Press Interviews”
The concert will also feature Van Morrison, Imelda May, The Boomtown Rats, The Frames, Damien Dempsey, Clannad. Picture This, Florence Road, Belters Only, Denise Chaila and Irish Women in Harmony.
Tickets available on ticketmaster.ie (€68.20 to €88.75)

October 30, 2025 | Comments Off on BOOK: “In the mists of Ireland” by Fabien Roux | by Axl | Other News
That was fast!
The English version of “Dans les brumes d’Irlande” by Fabien Roux titled “In the mists of Ireland” is now available both on paperback and Ebook on Amazon UK and across most Amazon marketplaces; searching for the book title should bring it up!
October 25, 2025 | Comments Off on BOOK: “Dans les brumes d’Irlande” by Fabien Roux | by Axl | Other News
“Dans les brumes d’Irlande · La voix des Cranberries et l’âme d’un pays” (In the mists of Ireland · The voice of The Cranberries and the soul of a country), is a new biographical essay in French dedicated to Dolores O’Riordan, just released this month and available on Amazon.
According to the author, “this book is not a traditional biography. It offers an in-depth analysis of Dolores’s unique voice, exploring how it was forged and examining the importance of her early musical training, particularly the acoustics of her childhood church in Ballybricken and the specific social and media context of the Ireland she grew up in. The book also details the studio methods, especially with Stephen Street, that preserved her vocal clarity on the albums, from the softness of “Linger” to the sonic break of “Zombie”. It also touches on her personal relationship with faith, evident in her performances in Modena and at the Vatican.”
The Ebook version should also be available soon, as well as a possible English translation.

A major video upgrade recorded at Alabamahalle in München on 24 October 1994. The show was rebroadcast last Friday on German TV “ARD Alpha” and immediately shared in HD 720p on Dime. A very famous concert circulating in trading circles for 30+ years in poor quality now perfect… at last!

It is now available for pre-order in a few more shops, like cede.ch in Switzerland, jukebox.ch still in Switzerland, wom.de in Germany, jpc.de still in Germany and there is a good chance that more shops will appear soon as well as more continents.
