Inhaler Tickets

From humble beginnings in Dublin to sold-out shows befitting to their anthemic indie rock, Inhaler have worked tirelessly to establish themselves as one of the most exciting live acts of their generation.

Formed in 2012, childhood friends Elijah Hewson (vocals and guitar), Robert Keating (bass), Ryan McMahon (drums), and Josh Jenkinson (guitar) began crafting their sound whilst at college in Blackrock, Dublin. Over the next decade, a combination of exceptional songwriting and a relentless touring schedule saw the band graduate from grassroots venues in Ireland to cementing their status as an internationally acclaimed group, touring with Kings of Leon and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

Following years of self-released singles and local gigs, Inhaler began to gain real momentum in 2019 with the releases of ‘It Won’t Always Be Like This’ and ‘My Honest Face’. With its alluring build-up and driving guitars serving as an evocative backdrop for Hewson’s raw vocals and introspective lyricism, ‘My Honest Face’ remains the band’s most-listened-to song, sitting at over 40 million streams to date. That summer, Inhaler signed to Polydor Records (a subset of Universal Music), and in a breakout moment, placed fifth in the BBC’s Sound of 2020 poll, spotlighting them as one of the most promising new acts in the UK and Ireland.

Inhaler’s much anticipated debut album arrived in July 2021, entitled It Won’t Always Be Like This. Paying tribute to a diverse range of musical influences, from The Strokes to Joy Division, the record debuted at number one on both the Irish and UK Albums Charts (the first Irish act to top the chart with their debut in 13 years) and broke into the top charts across Europe. Featuring energetic anthems ripe for rousing sing-alongs, from ‘Cheer Up Baby’ to ‘When It Breaks’’, the album proved perfect for the following summer’s festival circuit, which saw Inhaler play a coveted slot at the Glastonbury John Peel Stage in 2022. 

In 2023, Inhaler released their sophomore album, Cuts & Bruises. Debuting at number one in Ireland and number two in the UK, the eleven-song effort marked a sonic shift for the band, introducing a more refined approach to songwriting with spacious arrangements and reflective lyrics. That year, Inhaler continued to tour extensively, supporting major acts including Arctic Monkeys, Harry Styles and Pearl Jam, before returning triumphant to Dublin in November for a sold-out homecoming gig at the 13,000 capacity 3Arena - their biggest headline show to date.

Inhaler’s third album, Open Wide, was produced by Kid Harpoon, who is known for his work on Harry’s House by Harry Styles, for which he won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and the Brit Award for Songwriter of the Year in 2023. Released on February 2025, singles ‘Your House’, ‘A Question of You’ and ‘Open Wide’ gave fans a taste of a new creative chapter, replete with harmonised choirs and catchy Balearic beats.
