Country-Pop Superstar CMAT to Play US Headline Tour This Fall

Irish country-pop superstar CMAT has announced a US headline tour this fall– It’s The Euro-Country Tour – launching September 8 in Los Angeles, and hitting dates in Chicago, Toronto, Boston, NYC, Atlanta and more. More information on tickets can be found at cmatbaby.com – pre-sale sign up is live now, general on-sale will be live at 10AM local time on April 4. 

This tour announcement follows last week’s announcement of CMAT’s new album EURO-COUNTRY set for release August 29 via AWAL, “her most important record to date.” Despite this being her third album, this fully-formed acronymic star feels like she’s been part of the culture forever. EURO-COUNTRY follows 2023’s brilliant Crazymad, For Me - an album that propelled her to wider attention and garnered numerous accolades including: a BRITs Best International Artist nod; and ‘Best Album’ nominations from the Ivors; Mercury Prize and the Choice Music Prize in her native Ireland (an award she won for her debut, If My Wife New I’d Be Dead). 

The new album - released via AWAL Recordings - was recorded in New York and co-produced by long-time collaborator Oli Deakin and CMAT. EURO-COUNTRY tackles a number of big themes including personal reflections on economics, identity, and grief. It marks another step in the unstoppable rise of CMAT and cements her position as a generational songwriter. 

What has endeared fans to her heart-sore tunes and humor is Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson’s ability to combine contradictory themes and moods: wide-eye drama with self-deprecation; the fusion of country and pop, with even more influences stretching across decades and genres. EURO-COUNTRY is no different: an aural tight-rope walk that balances big themes, specifically: the impact of economics on a small country, the attention that comes with increased fame (not all of it good), and being a woman.
