Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History (15th Anniversary) Two Door Cinema Club

Two Door Cinema Club celebrate their 15th anniversary of Tourist History with the announcement of three massive shows in 2026 -Crystal Palace in London, The Marquee in Cork and Fairview Park in Dublin, and new physical offerings of material pressed on vinyl for the first time.

The album released in 2010 hit number one on the Irish chart, landed on the BBC Sound of 2010 Poll and went on to be a globally lauded debut record, taking them from their garage, where they wrote the album in Bangor, to the main stages of festivals around the world. This June, ‘What You Know’ surpassed 1billion streams on Spotify.

Two Door Cinema Club features singer/guitarist/programmer Alex Trimble, guitarist/singer Sam Halliday and bassist/singer Kevin Baird. Trimble and Halliday met in school and then hooked up with Baird through mutual friends. The trio began writing in Trimble’s parents garage and skipped going to university to focus on the band, fortunately, the gamble paid off – the band’s self-released debut EP, Four Words to Stand On, was released in January 2009 to positive reviews and music blog buzz, which grew with the release of the EP’s leading track ‘Something Good Can Work’.

Following the release of ‘Tourist History’ they continued to evolve, landing in the Top 2 of the UK chart with sophomore album 2012’s ‘Beacon’ and subsequent albums ‘Gameshow’, ‘False Alarm’ and ‘Keep on Smiling’ which have landed in the top 10 of the UK charts confirming the band as a global arena band and festival headliner.

Most recently, in 2024, the band embarked on a sold-out 30-date amphitheatre tour of the United States with the band finishing the year in style with a sold-out Australian arena tour culminating in an incredible performance at the iconic Sydney Opera House.

Two Door Cinema Club have cemented themselves as a band for the ages, festival headliners and live favourites across the world.

As the first album from the Irish indie group Two Door Cinema Club, Tourist History made a splash during the year of its release as one of the best indie albums of the 2010s. Tourist History won the Choice Music Prize for the 2010 Irish Album Of The Year. The band said it was the first award they had ever won and donated the €10,000 prize money to charity.
