Singular Artists today announces Amyl and the Sniffers with special guests Mannequin Pussy for next year’s Wider Than Pictures concert series, taking place at The National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks, Dublin on Tuesday, 25th August 2026.
Tickets are €54.85 plus booking fee and service charges, on sale Friday, the 28th of November at 10am from ticketmaster.ie and singularartists.ie.
Amyl and the Sniffers with special guests Mannequin Pussy is the second show to be announced for 2026’s Wider Than Pictures, joining the previously-announced Mac DeMarco (29 August 2026) for the concert series, which will be entering its fifth year next summer.
The announcement follows the success of Amyl and the Sniffers at the recent 2025 ARIA Awards (Australia), where the band won in four categories including Album Of The Year and Best Rock Album for their acclaimed 2024 LP Cartoon Darkness, alongside Best Group and Best Cover Art. This triumph came shortly after the band received its first Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance.
Recorded with producer Nick Launay at Foo Fighters’ 606 Studios in Los Angeles, on the same desk that captured Nirvana’s Nevermind and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, Cartoon Darkness is full of surprises, stretching from classic punk to glammy strut, broadening the band’s horizons exponentially in every way. It’s this attitude – bigger, brighter, smarter, sharper – that fuels third album, ‘Cartoon Darkness’.
In the eight years since Amyl and The Sniffers came together in Melbourne’s sticky pub-rock scene, the band have become masters of balancing power and playfulness, hailed as ‘Pure, uncut rock’n’roll fun’ (Pitchfork).
From grassroots clubs shows to major concert halls, the band has become a regular mainstage and headline feature of festivals including Primavera, Glastonbury, Coachella, Green Man, Osheaga, Outside Lands, Best Keep Secret, All Points East and dozens more; and been called up for European and US stadium supports with the likes of Green Day and Foo Fighters.
Mannequin Pussy’s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across five albums, the Philadelphia rock band that consists of Colins “Bear” Regisford (bass, vocals), Kaleen Reading (drums, percussion), Maxine Steen (guitar, synths), and Marisa Dabice (guitar, vocals) has made cathartic tunes about despairing times.
“There’s just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act,” says Dabice. “The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.”
Their latest album I Got Heaven, released in March 2024, is the band’s most fully realized LP yet. Over 10 ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It’s a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive.

About Wider Than Pictures
Wider Than Pictures is fast becoming a staple of summer in Dublin. Taking place in one of the most easily accessible and visually stunning locations in the city, The National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks, the venue’s historical courtyard provides unparalleled sound for the diverse roster of world-class live acts curated by promoters Singular Artists. In a review of 2023’s Wider Than Pictures closing concert by Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand, The Irish Times observed, “The sound is perfectly contained within the courtyard of Collins Barracks”. Now in its third year, Wider Than Pictures has played host to headliners such as First Aid Kit, YUNGBLUD, The Vamps, Mick Flannery, Future Islands, Franz Ferdinand, Alt J, Thin Lizzy Orchestrated, Simply Red and Fleet Foxes. Singular Artists prides itself in championing local talent, and this support is never more evident than in the incredible Wider Than Pictures support line-ups, with the likes of Pillow Queens, Susan O’Neill, Really Good Time, Sprints and more having played previous iterations of the series.
