2018 couldn't be going any better for the Westmeath men. Their debut album Tales From The Backseat taking #1 in the charts, sell-out gigs all over the place and the cherry on top...
The Rolling Stones are pleased to announce Ireland’s favourite indie outfit @TheAcademic will be special guests at Croke Park, Dublin on May 17. After selling out shows across the US and Europe this year we are happy to welcome them to the No Filter tour! https://t.co/Ao9rEVijMX

When we chatted to the lads at the beginning of January, we were in no doubt they would make their mark on the year. And what a way to do it!
This morning, Iano gave frontman of the band Craig Fitzgerald a call to see how they're feeling ahead of tonight's colossal gig in Croker, and find out how it all happened.
Imagine being chosen from 20 possible Irish acts to be the sole support of one of the biggest bands in history?? Unreal stuff lads.
The Academic will take to the stage at 7:15pm and we guarantee nothing but Satisfaction!
