We’re not really believing that it’s actually going to happen.”Frontman Elijah Hewson added: “I don’t think we’ll know it happened until it’s over.”Inhaler also discussed their anticipation to play their biggest ever show as they return home to Dublin tomorrow (June 25) for a set at Fairview Park.“It’s like a Glastonbury in itself for us.

This is a big weekend for us.”Keating added: “It’s like having a stag do but having to get back for the wedding, so we’re not allowed to stay out too late tonight to get back for the show tomorrow.”The band recently shared a new single, ‘These Are The Days’, which marks the first new music since the release of their debut LP ‘It Won’t Always Be Like This’.In a four-star.
