Third in the “Scenes From” series, celebrating the release of the 33rd anniversary editions of “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?” on 22 May 2026.
From the “Dreams” (Nico Soultanakis) music video shoot in January 1994: alternate angles and never-before-seen extended takes from the indoor nightclub performance that weren’t used in the final edit. Presented in 4K and shared for the first time on YouTube today.
For those who still hadn’t found good-quality videos (bootleg!) of the London 1999 & 2003 shows at Sheperd’s Bush Empire and Astoria, cranfan Luis H. recently shared on YouTube versions copied from the master tapes. Definitely a great upgrade for many of us. Many thanks to him.
Second installment of the “Scenes From” series in celebration of the release of the 33rd anniversay editions of “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?” on 22 May 2026.
Premiered on YouTube today, the “Linger” music video shoot and one complete scene (2min39) that never made it into the video until now. Presented in 4K and still Dolores only!
The Cranberries are launching a new series today titled “Scenes From”
A different angle. A longer take. And to kick things off, they’re starting with none other than the music video for “Dreams” (Dir: Peter Scammell / Dolores Uncut), featuring Dolores throughout the entire 4-minute performance. The video is presented in 4K pillarbox from the original 35mm film. Brilliant!
More details in the YouTube description.
A beautiful gift for fans, and a great way to celebrate the 33rd anniversary of the album “Everybody Else…” along with the release this May of multiple editions — even if their announcement sparked some criticism.
Still, a lovely gesture that will surely help smooth things over.
The Cranberries have annouced today, the release of multiple new editions of “Everybody Else…” featuring new 2026 stereo mixes by producer Stephen Street, a reimagined remix of “Linger” by CHVRCHES’ Iain Cook, Spanish versions of “Linger” and “Dreams” featuring Bratty and ANASOF, unreleased bonus tracks, and expanded liner notes.
Judging by the many negative comments on social media (Facebook for instance), fans are seriously starting to get fed up with these endless reissues… In fact, we gladly include ourselves among them, and this news will definitley be brief and not very detailed. Up to you to check the official link and see if you really need these new CD, LP, colored LP, and other overpriced triple vinyl editions.
“Linger” Spanish Mix (2026) has been available on streaming platforms and YouTube for a few hours.
As usual there’s also related merch on the band’s official store (both US and UK), and they’re even taking the opportunity to throw in a black vinyl version of “Uncertain”… as if this were the right moment!
Mike and Noel Hogan were on stage yesterday in Dublin at the 3Arena once again. This time as special guests of the American artist Sombr, performing “Linger” in a sold-out venue.
Watch the crowd react to their names and sing the lyrics out loud in the video below, shared by “Warner Music Ireland” on socials.

Yet another ranking of the greatest songs of all time—take it for what it’s worth—but it’s always nice to see your favorite band on the list, and even better three times rather than once, and even in 1st, 4th and 14th place, respectiveley “Zombie”, “Dreams” and “Linger”. Yes “Zombie” was voted “Today FM’s Greatest Irish Song of All Time” today.
“…by far and away the winner”
We, fans, have known that for a long time, right?
Full results on todayfm.com
Congrats to The Cranberries!
Watch Noel Hogan’s reaction after “Zombie” was voted #1. The video was posted on TodayFM socials.
…and Fergal.
Watch the trailer on YouTube.
The series will be available for streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ starting 8 April.
Happy Birthday Fergal.
“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.
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)

A rarely-before seen musical program which originally aired on 21 July 1995 on the Spanish channel TVE was recently rebroadcast. It includes about 2 minutes (from 32:14 to 34:08) of “Zombie” live in concert possibly in Madrid. The replay is available on rtve.es (for registered users only) and also on YouTube shared by user SitocamTV. The video is upscaled to 1080p pillarbox to respect the original format.
Special thanks to Luis for the link.
The rarely-before seen 5-min episode aired on WCVB-TV and includes fragments of the concert in Boston at Orpheum Theatre on 13 May 1995.

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!
Special thanks to user nirtorr.
For those who have no access to Dimeadozen, the video captured by another user (Alexa) is available on guitars101.com and was also uploaded on YouTube.

3 rare bootlegs recorded in San Francisco by Nick Baker on 25 October 1993, 25 November 1994 and 17 May 1999 are available on guitars101.com
To be honest, these recordings are some of the worst sound qualities ever but at least they exist. The 1994 show even includes “Disappointment” rarely recorded in concert!
Special thanks to Sergei and Luis for the links
A new audio bootleg surfaced on YouTube exactly 30 years after the concert. Recorded by Shayne Stacy on DAT at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA, USA, on 31 August 1995.
The last show of the NNTA world tour!
