The Scratch

The Scratch are a fiercely original Irish indie rock group hailing from Dublin, whose blend of celtic punk and indie rock has captured the attention of discerning live music fans across the UK and Ireland. Drawing on the raw energy of traditional Irish sounds while harnessing the punch of rock and punk, The Scratch have carved a unique niche, further recognised through their association with the trad/metal scene. Their recordings, including standout tracks like "Blaggard", "Cheeky Bastard", and "Aerials", showcase both instrumental virtuosity and a penchant for infectious, high-energy songwriting.

Recent concert highlights include serving as headliners at the MOMENTUM event in Oranmore, Galway, in May 2026, and commanding stages at renowned venues such as Electric Ballroom in London and Club Academy in Manchester during their Pull Like a Dog UK Tour. Their relentless touring schedule underlines a commitment to dynamic live performance, winning new audiences at every stop with exhilarating gigs and a sound that defies easy categorisation.

With major shows anticipated in early 2027, including headline dates at O2 Forum Kentish Town, Chalk in Brighton, Electric Bristol, and New Century Hall in Manchester, The Scratch’s tour dates continue to reflect their growing influence in the modern celtic punk and indie rock landscape.
