Opening each night of the tour is infamous alternative comedian (and Stewart Lee’s hero) Ted Chippington, who will also be making his Irish debut.

Japanese garage punks Electric Eel Shock return to Ireland in support of their Best Of and Covers double album this May.
Renowned for their ferocious live shows, the band have been on a near constant world tour ever since leaving their native Japan in 1999, bringing their energetic brand of garage punk to countless venues and festivals around America, Europe and Asia.
The Best Of album consists of 26 songs – covering both household names and the more obscure – and is very much a release for the band’s fans, who not only funded the album, but also chose the songs and were involved in every step along the way. At over 75min, it is long enough to give you a full understanding of what EES are all about.
