CMAT

CMAT, the genre-defying Irish artist also known as Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, has rapidly made her mark within the alternative rock and folk pop scenes. Her compelling songwriting and sharp wit have set her apart, with a discography that now includes the much-anticipated album “EURO-COUNTRY,” scheduled for release in August 2025. Notable tracks such as "Aw, Shoot!" and "Take a Sexy Picture of Me" highlight her distinctive blend of storytelling and vibrant melodic sensibility, resonating strongly with both critics and fans alike.

On the live music circuit, CMAT has emerged as a headline act at major venues including Alexandra Palace in London and O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester. Her presence is equally impactful at key festivals, having delivered standout sets as a support artist for The Maccabees at All Points East Festival and for Sam Fender at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park. CMAT’s festival appearances also include sharing the bill with Kneecap at Wide Awake Festival, illustrating her versatility and appeal across audiences.

Looking ahead to September 2026, CMAT joins a distinguished lineup at End of the Road Festival at Larmer Tree Gardens, sharing the stage as a support act for Pulp and Mac DeMarco, while headlining her own shows at Custom House Square in Belfast and Victoria Park in London. With her profile continuing to rise, now is the ideal time to follow CMAT and stay tuned for more live gigs and tour dates on the horizon.
