Dublin rock and roll upstarts Inhaler have announced a North American tour, a 20-date run set for the entirely of March 2022. And here around Boston, news of the tour, and where the band was just over a year ago, really shows the recent lift of Elijah Hewson and the boys.
In April 2020, Inhaler were set to play ONCE Ballroom in Somerville, a sold out show that was obviously scrapped due to the pandemic. The show, and overall tour, was ambitiously rescheduled for the fall, with Inhaler set to play The Sinclair in Cambridge, a larger venue reflecting the group’s growing popularity, aided in part by Hewson being the son of U2’s Bono but also off their own string of sterling alt-rock singles that have amassed 52 million streams worldwide. That tour was put off, understandably so, and now the rescheduled date has Inhaler playing an even bigger room, Royale in the Theater District, on March 12.
So Inhaler went from ONCE to The Sinclair to Royale in just under two years without even playing a show here. Not a bad look.
Inhaler will hit the road in support of their debut album, It Won’t Always Be Like This, which is due July 9 via Interscope. The North American tour kicks off March 4 at Atlanta’s Terminal West and wraps March 31 at The Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale May 21 at 10 a.m. local time.

“We’re extremely happy to announce our next American venture,” says Inhaler. “Hard to believe we’ve gone this long without each other. Can’t wait to play you new music.“
