• 2nd Nov 2009

Dolores O’Riordan and the original members of The Cranberries have confirmed they are to reform and play live for the first time in nearly seven years. They will perform an exclusive UK show at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 31st March 2010.

The Cranberries are: Dolores O'Riordan, Noel Hogan, Mike Hogan, and Fergal Lawler.

“I’ve decided to reunite with my former band members in The Cranberries and we will be writing new songs and performing tracks off my new album as well as our greatest hits during the shows. I’d love to see you out there”, O’Riordan stated. Guitarist and co-songwriter Noel Hogan says, “Over the last few years, each member of the band has had time to work on different projects and learn so much from their experience. Now the time is right for The Cranberries to bring all of this together and move forward”.

Led by ‘Linger’, The Cranberries debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, hit No1 in Britain. Follow-up No Need To Argue cemented the group’s popularity via such tracks as ‘Zombie’, ‘Ridiculous Thoughts’, and ‘Ode to My Family’, ultimately being certified 7 x Platinum in the U.S. and 5 x Platinum in Europe (No.1 in Germany, Austria, and Australia, and No.2 in the U.K.).

The Cranberries had four top 20 Billboard albums, 8 hit singles and worldwide sales of over 40 million records. They have performed on several television shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and The Late Show with David Letterman, and appeared on many magazine covers including Rolling Stone and Spin Magazine.
