Touring across Ireland leading toward the forthcoming double album Equinox
| Garrett Anthony Rice will take to the stage with a newly-announced series of spring and summer dates for his inaugural tour in Ireland and Northern Ireland, presented by IAD Isotope Agency Dublin. The series of dates will take Rice through Belfast, Dublin, and Drogheda, beginning March 20th and running through July 3rd alongside a pair of solo acoustic songwriter nights in Dublin. The run arrives as Rice builds toward Equinox, his forthcoming double album, following the recent release of his single “In The Darkness With The Spirit of the Lake (a family tragedy).” From the March of the Mods event at Oh Yeah Music Centre in Belfast to nights at The Bernard Shaw and Lost Lane in Dublin, Rice will be playing venues that have long been the space in which artists have cut their teeth in the pursuit of finding their voice. These performances offer a chance to hear the newer material in motion, shaped not just by studio intention but by the response of a live room. |
| The run comes on the heels of a steady string of singles, most recently “In The Darkness With The Spirit of the Lake (a family tragedy),” which have been gradually establishing the scope and depth of the material on Equinox. Until now, the evolution has been on record. This tour represents the first time Rice is taking the material into a room and testing it in a live setting. Music lives one life in the headphones and another when it rises into a crowd. These dates mark the point at which the work leaves the privacy of the recording and learns how it sounds in public. Below is the confirmed list of dates. Additional shows to be announced.

About Garrett Anthony Rice
Hailing from County Dublin, Ireland, and now living in Greystones, County Wicklow, for the last twenty years with his family, Garrett Anthony Rice intends to make a significant impact on the global music scene in 2025.
EQUINOX is the first double album (18 songs) to be released by a debut solo artist as their second record in musical history, so the task of writing and completing this record was pretty daunting and enormous.
Garrett released his debut album under the alias of (i) CONSULT in October 2023, entitled “Reflections Part II, the very best of……” which was streamed in 93 countries and piqued the interest of UK producer Chris Potter (The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, U2 and The Verve/ Richard Ashcroft) in late 2023. Out of a possible 30 recorded demos, 18 were selected and recorded throughout 2024, both in the UK and Ireland and already, the well-known and esteemed music professionals who worked on this record and who have heard it are lauding this album as the record of this year.
“My Sons” was the first single from the record released on 28 February 2025 which Garrett wrote for Mrs. Peggy Gallagher, mother of OASIS’ Liam and Noel, when they were still estranged. The song ties into the other diverse themes on the album, which industry professionals are already touting as one of the best Irish albums ever made.
This new single, “Property (An Ode To Roger Syd Barrett, a genius, 1946-infinity),” is a tribute to Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd, and it attempts to reverse the tired narrative that he was an artist to be pitied and avoided rather than the influential and brilliant songwriter he was. “EQUINOX” will be available to pre-save closer to the time of release on vinyl and all platforms.
