The
Forever Girl by announcing a Irish and UK tour.
The new EP includes hit songs Champagne Butterflies and Next To You and the tour will see a welcomed return to the stage for the Dublin band.
Since hitting the airwaves in 2017, Wild Youth have been building their fanbase throughout 2020 and 2021, with their songs receiving over 10M streams across
Spotify alone.
Known for their enigmatic stage presence and signature catchy choruses, David Whelan, Conor O’Donohoe, Ed Porter and Callum McAdam’s
creativity has seen them hit the road in coveted support slots for household names like
“We had just started working together,” Selena told the Los Angeles Times
.
“I honestly thought, ‘No wonder guys don’t want to date me!’ I think people only care because I’m young, and the older I get the less they’ll care. For now it’s a part of the job that I don’t really like. I’m actually grateful that I’m not involved with anyone right now,” she added.
Congratulations Emily Ratakkowski!
Emily Ratajkowski announced that she and Sebastian Bear-McClard have welcomed their baby earlier this week.

Wild Youth have opened up about their experience working with their “idols” The Script.
The band was set up by friends David Whelan, Ed Porter, Conor O’Donohoe and Callum McAdam back in 2016, before they released their debut single ‘All or Nothing’ the following year.
Since then, Wild Youth have gigged with global stars including Niall Horan, Zara Larsson and Westlife, but their standout moment was working alongside fellow Irish group The Script.
Speaking exclusively to
Goss.ie, David and Conor admitted they learned a lot from Danny O’Donoghue and his band.
Gushing over the Hall of Fame singers, Conor said: “We were very lucky, we actually worked very closely with the Script and spent a lot of time with them, both in studio and on tour with them.”

Imelda May
After releasing her first collection of poetry in 2020, an EP titled Slip of the Tongue, Imelda is to share her sixth studio album on April 23.
11 Past The Hour features the already-available title track, plus new single Just One Kiss with Noel Gallagher ft. Ronnie Wood. Available now for pre-save, and pre-order digitally and on CD and vinyl, the record is Imelda s first for four years since 2017 s Life Love Flesh Blood, which peaked at Number 2 on the Official Irish Albums Chart.
Collaborators on the 11 Past The Hour - which was co-written with Tim Bran (London Grammar, Primal Scream) and string arranger Davide Rossi (Coldplay, U2, Goldfrapp) - include Noel Gallagher, Miles Kane and Ronnie Wood.
Band member Conor O Donoghue says: It s the celebratory butterflies that you feel when you meet someone and you fall for them for the first time. Everyone associates champagne with a celebration so it s like the good butterflies you get when you meet someone and you start to fall for them and the amazing things that come with that.
Lead singer Dave Whelan says it s one of his favourite songs of theirs. It s a bop, it s an earworm, it s in your veins, you hear it and you want to move and you want to listen to it again. I ve been looking forward to this one for a while.
