Ash

Northern Ireland alternative rock band

Ash, the prolific alternative rock band from Northern Ireland, have been a mainstay in British indie music since forming in 1989. Renowned for their blend of alternative rock and britpop influences, Ash have delivered a string of critically respected albums, including the celebrated "Race the Night" released in 2023, and "Ad Astra," which arrived in October 2025. Their enduring catalogue is marked by energetic songwriting and a passion for blending melodic hooks with raw guitar-driven intensity—qualities that have kept them both relevant and revered for decades.

The band’s live reputation is as formidable as their recordings, with Ash recently headlining venues across the UK as part of their Ad Astra Tour in February 2026. Audiences in cities such as Norwich, Hull, Stoke-on-Trent, Liverpool, Bristol, Exeter, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, and Tunbridge Wells have witnessed their electrifying performances, reaffirming Ash’s status as one of the UK's most accomplished live acts. With each concert, they showcase their extensive back catalogue alongside fresh material, confirming their commitment to both legacy and innovation within the live music scene.

As Ash continue to evolve, their influence within the alternative rock and britpop landscape remains significant, with their latest single, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," further demonstrating their creative vitality.
