As well as the fans catapulting the band to number one, Time Stopped has also been lauded by the critics with The Irish Times giving it four stars saying it’s ‘A mature, reflective record from a band that deserves a closer look.’

The Coronas have just completed a huge world tour playing to full houses in the UK, Europe, North America and Australia, and finishing the tour with 5 sold-out shows in the 3Olympia Theatre in Dublin in December.

These gigs have become a Christmas tradition for the band and their legions of fans, memorable for their truly magical atmosphere.

They said: “We are absolutely loving being back on the road. Some of these shows were originally scheduled to happen over two years ago so it’s lovely that people haven’t forgotten about us.

"London, Amsterdam, New York, Vancouver, Sydney and obviously the Dublin shows were definite highlights but we’re just really enjoying travelling and promoting Time Stopped. It’s amazing to hear the new songs being sung back to us."

Tickets will go on sale Friday, February 3 at 10am via www.ticketmaster.ie.
