CMAT
Second Show Added!
Secret Sounds is excited to welcome back Ireland’s sharpest pop export, CMAT, heading to Australia this summer with her EURO-COUNTRY tour. Fresh from a sold-out UK & Ireland run and a breakthrough Glastonbury set, CMAT is bringing her signature mix of sparkly country-pop and razor-sharp wit our way in January 2026.
EURO-COUNTRY, crowned Feature Album of the Week on Double J upon release, has been praised by the likes of The Guardian, Mojo and Rolling Stone UK, earning multiple 5-star reviews. On stage with her Very Sexy CMAT Band, audiences experience her impressive ability to combine contradictory themes and moods: wide-eye drama with self-deprecation; the fusion of country and pop, with even more influences stretching across decades and genres.
A relentless touring schedule has cemented CMAT’s reputation as one of the best live acts around - alongside Glastonbury, 2025 highlights include Green Man, Primavera, Pukkelpop, NOS Alive and a UK run supporting Sam Fender, and upcoming headline shows across the US, UK and Ireland.
Recorded in New York and co-produced by long-time collaborator Oli Deakin, EURO-COUNTRY tackles big themes - re-evaluating where you come from; the impact of economics on a small country; the pressure of increased fame - with her most immediate songs to date. The album capped off a huge summer for the Irish star: from a “career making” (The Guardian) Glastonbury Pyramid Stage via to the viral 'Woke Macarena' TikTok trend, it debuted at #1 on the Irish Album Charts and secured Top 2 positions in both the UK and Scotland.
