The Coronas

The Coronas are an Irish rock band known for their consistent album releases and popular live performances, achieving multiple number-one albums in Ireland. After signing with independent label 3ú Records, The Coronas released their debut full-length album, ‘Heroes or Ghosts,’ in October 2007. The album reached number 27 on the Irish Albums Chart, spending 74 weeks and peaking at number 18. Formed in 2003, The Coronas (Danny O’Reilly, Graham Knox, Conor Egan, and later Dave McPhillips) quickly solidified their presence in the Irish music scene through consistent touring.

Their fifth album, ‘Trust the Wire,’ released in 2017 on their independent label So Far So Good Records, became their first to achieve the number one spot on the Irish Albums Chart. Following the departure of founding guitarist Dave McPhillips in December 2019, The Coronas continued as a trio, releasing ‘True Love Waits’ in 2020, which also charted at number one. Their seventh studio album, ‘Time Stopped,’ released in October 2022, debuted at number one on the Irish Albums Chart, making them the first self-released Irish act to secure three consecutive chart-topping albums. The Coronas released their latest album, ‘Thoughts & Observations,’ in 2024, which also reached number one in Ireland.

This achievement extended their streak of consecutive chart-topping albums, solidifying their status as one of Ireland’s most successful rock acts. The band maintains an active touring schedule, including extensive engagements across North America and continued international performances, consistently captivating audiences worldwide with their acclaimed live shows.
