Hailing from Bangor and Donaghadee, Northern Ireland’s Two Door Cinema Club first gained attention with their debut album ‘Tourist History’ which included singles like “What you Know” **, ‘Something Good Can Work’ and ‘Undercover Martyn’ mixing guitar-driven, post-punk hooks with dancey, electronic polish,

The album released in 2010 hit number one on the Irish chart, landed on the BBC Sound of 2010 Poll and went on to be a globally lauded debut record taking them from their garage where they wrote the album in Bangor to the main stages of festivals around the world.

Two Door Cinema Club features singer/guitarist/programmer Alex Trimble, guitarist/singer Sam Halliday and bassist/singer Kevin Baird. Trimble and Halliday met in school, and then hooked up with Baird through mutual friends. The trio began writing in Trimble’s parents garage and skipped going to university to focus on the band, fortunately, the gamble paid off – the band’s self-released debut EP, Four Words to Stand On, was released in January 2009 to positive reviews and music blog buzz, which grew with the release of the EP’s leading track ‘Something Good Can Work’.

Following the release of “Tourist History” they continued to evolve, landing in the Top 2 of the UK chart with sophomore album 2012’s ‘Beacon’ and subsequent albums ‘Gameshow’, “False Alarm” and “Keep on Smiling” which have all landed in the top 10 of the UK charts cementing the band as a global arena band and festival headliner.

Most recently, in 2024, the band embarked on a sold out 30-date amphitheater tour of the United States with the band finishing the year in style with a sold out Australian arena tour culminating in an incredible performance at the iconic Sydney Opera house.

Two Door Cinema Club have cemented themselves as a band for the ages, festival headliners and live favourites across the world.

**”What You Know” was recently honored by Spotify with 1 billion streams globally.
