See you in Spain

It’s hugely delightful that Cranberries are once again with their whole group of seven. Thanks a lot for providing so fruitful information. France is getting large number of shows. Its mind blowing. The clarity and balance shine from this article. It can be regarded as one of the most intriguing article.

Awesome, looking forward to seeing them in Istanbul on the 22nd of July. I tell my friends about this see how many can make it while out in Turkey.

man I wish these guys would come to the UK their tunes are sick.

I agree with mike, these guys are awesome. It's just a bit of a waste that they're not playing in the UK...

March 31st, 2010 - London, UK (Royal Albert Hall - 19:00 hrs) Unfortunately that's the only date for the UK and it's already sold out.

I meant a full tour, not just a single date.... I wouldn't be able to make it to the albert anyway it's too far away.

Thanks for the information!!! :) I'm glad France is getting a bunch of shows! It's awesome.

Hm... some interesting material :)
Thanks from russian blogger.

The Cranberries are an Irish rock band formed in Limerick in 1989 under the name The Cranberry Saw Us, later changed by vocalist Dolores O'Riordan. The band currently consists of O'Riordan, guitarist Noel Hogan, bassist Mike Hogan and drummer Fergal Lawler. Although widely associated with alternative rock, the band's sound also incorporates indie, indie pop, rock, post-punk, Irish folk and pop rock elements.

The Cranberries rose to international fame in the 1990s with their debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, which became a commercial success and sold over five million copies in the United States. The group was one of the most successful rock acts of the '90s and sold over 14.5 million albums in the United States alone. The band has achieved four top 20 albums on the Billboard 200 chart.

Noel and Mike Hogan, two brothers from Limerick formed the band with drummer Fergal Lawler in 1990. The band was originally named The Cranberry Saw Us. The lead singer at that time was a friend of theirs named Niall Quinn. The remaining band members placed an advertisement for a female singer. Dolores O'Riordan responded to the advertisement and auditioned by writing lyrics and melodies to some existing demos.When she returned with a rough version of "Linger", the group hired her.

They hired O'Riordan they recorded their home-made demo tape. They made 300 copies.[3] After the original run of 300 copies sold out, the group changed their name to The Cranberries and sent another demo tape, which featured early versions of both "Linger" and "Dreams," to record companies throughout the UK.[3] The tape was made at Xeric studios, which was run by Pearse Gilmore, who would later become their manager.[3]

The demo tape earned the attention of both the UK press and record industry and sparked a bidding war between major British record labels. Eventually, the group signed with Island Records. The Cranberries headed into the studio with Gilmore as their producer to record their first single, "Uncertain." The title proved to be prophetic as they did sound ill at ease, leading to poor reviews in the press. This led to tension between the group and Gilmore. Before they were scheduled to record their debut in 1992, the band nearly broke up because of the tension. Instead, the band, outraged with the results severed all relations with Gilmore, hired Geoff Travis as their new manager. They also hired Stephen Street, who had previously worked with The Smiths, as their new producer.

Since 2004 Dolores O'Riordan has been collaborating on a number of musical projects, before launching her solo career with the album Are You Listening? in 2007. Noel Hogan started a new project called Mono Band, whose first full-length self-titled album saw a limited release in 2005. He went on to form Arkitekt with singer-songwriter Richard Walters. Fergal Lawler was a member of The Low Network, whose first album was released in 2007. He has also worked with Walter Mitty and the Realists as well as The Last Days Of Death Country as both producer and musician.

In October 2001, the album Wake Up and Smell the Coffee was released. The band's old producer, Stephen Street, had returned and produced their new music video. The album peaked at 46 on the Billboard 200.[1] Its peak in the UK was #61.[4] The first single released from the album was "Analyse", which didn't chart in the UK but chart in US Adult Top 40 at 26 peak.[1][4] In January 2002, they released the second single "Time Is Ticking Out", and some months later another one, "This Is The Day". None of the songs charted.

The Cranberries rose to international fame in the 1990s with their debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, which became a commercial success and sold over five million copies in the United States. The group was one of the most successful rock acts of the '90s and sold over 14.5 million albums in the United States alone.

In 2009 The Cranberries reunited and began a North American tour, followed by dates in Latin America and Europe in early 2010

As described in their official website, The Cranberries reunited in January 2009 "to celebrate Dolores becoming an Honorary Patron of University Philosophical Society (Trinity College, Dublin)". While the group indicated at the time that this did not signify an official reunion, things seem to have changed.

In 1999, the group released their fourth studio album Bury the Hatchet. The first single "Promises" was released in February. "Promises" would be the only single from the album to chart in the US and last single before their hiatus. The album peaked at 7 in the UK and 13 in the US. The album was certified gold in the US. The second single from the album was "Animal Instinct", which didn't chart in the UK, but it did chart in France, Austria and many others.The third and fourth singles were "Just My Imagination" and "You & Me", respectively. The group started a world tour in April 1999 and it finished in July 2000. It was the biggest and most successful tour of the Cranberries' career.

The tour brought them back to Ireland for their first date since May 2000. They performed at Millstreet in County Cork. As the tour rolled on, the band released Bury The Hatchet - The Complete Sessions, a double CD featuring B-sides as well as live tracks taken from a live show in Paris.
