Ahead of their festival appearances at Camden Crawl and Vantastival, swords announce their début headline performance in Whelan's on Friday July 5th.

The venue is becoming a band favourite having played Whelan's for the first time in January for Whelan’s Ones to Watch 2013 and again last Saturday: "We realised lately that Whelan's is one of the best venues a band can play and we are excited."

The headline slot in Whelan's main room on July 5th will mark the bands biggest gig to date. Come light it up.

Tickets are €10 and available on entertainment.ie/tickets now.
