ANNOUNCE DETAILS OF NEW ALBUM
‘OPEN WIDE’
SET FOR RELEASE FEBRUARY 7TH 2025
+ OPEN WIDE WORLD TOUR
BIGGEST EVER UK HEADLINE TOUR
INCLUDES A SHOW AT BRIXTON ACADEMY
INHALER have today announced details of their new album alongside their biggest ever UK tour and a string of dates in Europe & Asia. The Dublin four-piece will release their third album ‘Open Wide’ on February 7th via Polydor Records and are set to play a slate of international shows as part of the Open Wide World Tour, full list and ticketing details of which are below. It comes as INHALER are midway through a 4-week tour of North America where they have been debuting new songs from ‘Open Wide’, including the anthemic 70’s rock inspired first single ‘Your House’ which premiered on Tuesday as a Hottest Record In The World on Radio 1. Listen to ‘Your House’
‘Open Wide’ was produced by Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles/Florence & The Machine) and marks a giant leap forward for the band. Beginning work on it early this year in London, the band were encouraged to challenge themselves and take more creative control. Listening to a wide range of genres during writing – from techno to Nick Cave – inspired them to experiment with a brighter, timeless sound, adding texture to the record. The result is an album of 13 songs that feels unique – a guitar-driven pop album unlike any other, solidifying their status as one of the most exciting young bands today.
INHALER are set to play their biggest ever UK tour in February which includes a headline show at the iconic rock venue Brixton Academy. Starting in Leeds on February 7th, the tour takes in eight cities, wrapping in Newcastle on February 19th. The band will then embark on a 15-date tour of Europe before heading to Japan in June. BLOSSOMS will be special guests on all tour dates in mainland Europe.
The Fan pre-sale for the UK & EU dates will start at 9:30am local time on Wednesday 6 November
The general on sale for the UK & EU dates will start at 9:30am local time on Friday 8 November

Since their career launched in 2018, INHALER have been among the biggest new names in guitar music, achieving commercial success with roaring chart positions. To date, they’ve sold over a quarter of a million records globally and garnered 500 million streams. Their debut album, It Won’t Always Be Like This, hit #1 in the UK and Ireland, while their 2023 follow-up, Cuts & Bruises, topped the Irish charts and reached #2 in the UK. To maintain this momentum, bandmates and childhood friends Hewson, Robert Keating, Ryan McMahon, and Josh Jenkinson have spent the past few whirlwind years on a relentless world tour, supporting acts like Arctic Monkeys, Pearl Jam, Harry Styles, and Kings of Leon, as well as headlining their own shows, including a sold out 13,000-capacity homecoming show at the Dublin 3Arena last year, their biggest headline show to date.
