AUGUST 27, 2026 – CMAT marks the one-year anniversary of her Ivor Novello-winning album
EURO-COUNTRY with the release of four live songs from the album. Recorded with
The Very Sexy CMAT Band at their 20,000-capacity headliner at St Anne’s Park, Dublin in May 2026 – the tracks capture the energy, humour and infectious joy that confirms the
Dunboyne Diana as one of our era’s standout live acts.
‘EURO-COUNTRY (Live at St Anne’s)’ will be released on streaming and vinyl. In addition, the full two-hour concert will be available to watch for a limited time between August 28th and 31st (via CMAT’s YouTube). On Sept 6th, CMAT will headline End Of The Road Festival (full dates below).
“Please enjoy these four recordings of myself and the Very Sexy CMAT Band at full tilt with 20,000 people standing in a field in Dublin. It was a dream show and serves to confirm my status as a NATIONAL TREASURE (in Ireland)” – CMAT
EURO-COUNTRY, released one year ago via AWAL Recordings, was recorded in New York and co-produced by long-time collaborator Oli Deakin and CMAT. It has been nominated for numerous awards and received widespread critical acclaim.
Irish pop sensation CMAT, broke into the US public consciousness this year with a marked rapid assent that follow the critically acclaimed 2025 release of EURO-COUNTRY, her album blending pop, folk, country, and indie rock, which explored themes as wide-ranging as Irish economics, to the experience of being a woman in the music industry.
Since the album’s release, CMAT has garnered almost 300M streams, a major viral moment with her single “Take A Sexy Picture Of Me” and a litany of co-signs from artists like Brandi Carlile, who called her a “once in every 500 years star”, Olivia Rodrigo, who covered her song “When A Good Man Cries” on BBC Radio 1, and Elton John, Robyn, Hayley Williams and Marcus Mumford have all proclaimed themselves fans. Drawn to her artistic integrity, classic songwriting, singular sense of humor and unshakable and inspiring commitment to songwriting and blending maximalist pop music with country/folk storytelling and instrumentation.
Most recently, CMAT has been out on an incredible run of US festival shows including breakout performances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Newport Folk Festival which Rolling Stone proclaimed a “star-making turn.” At Newport she did a hilarious collab with Subway Takes – just posted this week and already has garnered nearly 2 MILLION VIEWS across platforms! She also spoke with Stereogum for some fun social features – see HERE & HERE!
She now brings her exhilarating headline set from St Anne’s Park in Dublin to fans across the globe with the release of this new live EP.
CMAT recently opened for Florence in the Machine in the US earlier this Summer and sold-out her U.S. headline shows including Brooklyn Paramount + Brooklyn Steel. CMAT will be supporting Brandi Carlisle this fall before capping off 2026 with more festival dates at All Things Go, Austin City Limits, Corona Capital and Primavera Sound, the year in which CMAT transformed from one of Europe’s most acclaimed new voices to a genuine breakout star in America.
