Fergal turns 52 today… Happy Birthday!

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?” Island/UMe is releasing the album in Dolby ATMOS.

Fergal says, “The Atmos remixes are a whole different listening experience for us. It feels more like being onstage at a concert, being surrounded by the band. There are certain intricate parts that subtly pop out every now and then, causing you to feel more immersed in the songs”

No need to own a Dolby ATMOS equipment like home cinema or else to experience it (even if that’s the best option), it still works with headphones or any other stereo equipments, delivering a more immersive sound anyway.

Listen to this brand new 30th Anniversary mix immediately and exclusively on Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Tidal. All 3 links Here.

UPDATE

Thanks to @CindaUy on Twitter for the screen shot (looks like Apple Music on iPhone) where you can see the new Dolby ATMOS logo.

UPDATE · 4 March

The Cranberries have now announced it on their website cranberries.com as well as their socials (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)

Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?

Mon. 1 Mar. 1993 – Wed. 1 Mar. 2023

UPDATE

The Cranberries have posted a message about it on their socials (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram)

A very rare and previously unpublished bootleg video recently surfaced on YouTube. The Cranberries live in Camden, NJ, USA in August 1995. Complete show.

Date on YouTube is incorrect, in fact 8 August 1995 as it appears on the video at some point. Apparently there was confusion with the show in Camden a few years later on 17 August 1999.

Special thanks to Alex Verveboy for the info.

“Wake Up And Smell The Coffee” issued for the first time on vinyl for Record Store Day 2023.

Transparent Vinyl
Quantity: 4,000

To be released on 22 April 2023.

More info directly on the RecordStoreDay’s websites here, here and here

Special thanks to Dan on Twitter!

UPDATE

The Cranberries have now posted about it on their socials (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram)

For the occasion, The Cranberries shared a message on their socials (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).

NB: in fact “Linger” was their second single! Their debut single was “Dreams” in September 1992.

New bootleg LP to be released on 3 February 2023. Nothing really new here as all 3 radio shows were already released on bootleg CDs before.

For die-hard collectors only!

More info and pre-order on juno.co.uk for example.

A rare and previously unpublished video recorded in Portugal in Lisboa on 11 April 2002 surfaced on YouTube 2 days ago. Thanks to user Mónica Moreira for this gem.

A bootleg video of this show recorded from the audience is already well known to the fans.

This time the video is from a professional camera on tripod, probably recorded from the mixing desk as it often is the case for TV crews generally authorized to record the first 2 or 3 songs of a show. It seems this footage was never broadcast anywhere (?)

“Zombie” being the second song of the set, there is a big chance that the first song (Wake Up And Smell The Coffee) was recorded as well.

On this special day, The Cranberries have published a message on their socials (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter).

The Cranberries posted a few words on their socials (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) regarding Christine McVie’s passing.

“Dreams” is the soundtrack of the new Zalando commercial titled “Cherish The Moment · Holiday 2022”

Watch the English version on YouTube shared by Zalando directly. Please note that some local versions are known to exist as well.

“Zombie” was crowned Ireland’s favorite song by RTÉ 2fm listeners. More details directly on rte.ie
Following the news, The Cranberries shared on their socials (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) a small message to thank those who voted for them.

Title says it all.
Could it be a sign of the release of the TTFD 25th Anniversary edition soon?

New book to be released on Dolores’ birthday either titled “The story of The Cranberries in the newspapers” or maybe “The story of The Cranberries through newspapers”

Publisher Don’t Let The Music Die (from Spain) shows previews of both titles on the website dontletthemusicdie.com where you can pre-order the book now for €39.95

According to amazon.fr and fnac.com, a double vinyl titled “Remembering Dolores” will be released on 7 April 2022.

Not much information for now!
There is no artwork and no tracklist yet. It might be a French release only as Amazon marked the country of origin as France and some of their other stores, like amazon.it for instance, marked it as import.

Edit: Could it be the playlist pulled together by bandmates, family and friends (to celebrate Dolores’ 50th birthday last 6 September) pressed on 2 LP… Possibly!
