Cry Before Dawn

Cry Before Dawn first formed in Wexford in 1982. Masterfully combining the intensity of guitar-driven rock with the rich heritage of traditional Irish pipes and whistles, this fusion creates a powerful and dynamic sound that sets them apart in the music scene.

The band has reached incredible heights with two double platinum-selling albums and a collection of prestigious national awards. Among these, they won “Best Newcomer” in 1987 and “Best Irish Group” in 1989, showcasing their widespread acclaim and popularity across the nation. Renowned for their passionate and electrifying performances, they gained a dedicated following through extensive live shows in Ireland, the UK, and the USA, and sold-out Ireland’s National Stadium on two memorable occasions.

After a break, Cry Before Dawn reunited in 2011, marking the occasion with the release of a “Best Of” CD, the new single “Is This What You Waited For,” and a live album titled “Live at the Opera House.” Their return was met with excitement, and they subsequently embarked on tours throughout Ireland and the UK.

In 2023, a rejuvenated Cry Before Dawn returned to the stage, performing at key festivals and sell-out headline shows across the country, earning rave reviews from the press that celebrated their return.

As they entered 2024, the band launched an extensive nationwide tour, selling out major venues across the country, including two consecutive nights at the Wexford Spiegeltent and three unforgettable nights at the iconic Whelan’s Main Venue in Dublin.

Their explosive performances at prominent international festivals like Forest Fest and Night & Day further reinforced their status as one of Ireland’s premier live acts. Now, as they plan for shows in 2025 and finalize new material, their journey is only getting started.

Band line-up:
Brendan Wade – Vocals
Vinny Doyle – Bass
Pat Hayes – Drums
Steve Belton – Guitar
Dara Munnis – Keyboards
