BROS have been riding high from the success of the movie BROS: After the Screaming Stops, which was a runaway Christmas success after it was shown on BBC.
Propelled by their classic smash hit ‘When Will I Be Famous’, BROS ruled the world from 1987-1992. During that time, they rewrote the pop history books.

Making waves across the world in 2018 one of Ireland's biggest success stories over the last couple of years, The Academic will embark on their biggest Cork show to date this summer headlining Live At The Marquee on 27 June. There aren’t that many bands who can so easily epitomise the very definition of modern youth within their music, however, as the success of indie pop-rock group The Academic demonstrate, it is indeed possible.
Releasing their debut album ‘Tales From The Backseat’ in 2018, it reached No1 in the Official Irish Album Charts, received a Choice Music Prize Nomination for album of the year and saw them enter the US Billboard Chart as well has being album of the week on BBC Radio 1. 2018 also saw the band’s smash their largest tour to date, selling out shows right across the US, Europe and the UK not to mention opening for The Rolling Stones in Croke Park and playing one of the most talked about gigs last summer at the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin.
Craig Fitzgerald says, "Cork has always felt like a home from home for us so to now headline Live At The Marquee is going to be one of the most special nights we have had as a band. It's an incredible venue and we are beyond excited for the show."
