To round off a hugely successful year O Emperor have announced a select three-date tour, their final appearances of 2011. Taking time off from working on their second album the shows in Cork, Dublin and Waterford will see the band premiere much of their brand new material as well as highlights from their highly successful debut album “Hither Thither”, which was released in October 2010 and subsequently nominated for the Choice Music Prize (Irish Album of the Year).

Following the release of “Hither Thither” and a special orchestral arrangement of the song “Sedalia” (performed and filmed live with the RTE Concert Orchestra), the band have toured extensively both at home and abroad throughout 2011, including an appearance at the prestigious SXSW showcase festival in Austin, Texas.
“As Irish debuts go, it’s in a league of its own.”
