If you’ve been following the dreamy, fuzz-laden rise of Just Mustard, then get ready to mark your calendars. The Dundalk-based band has just revealed plans for a sprawling 2026 headline tour spanning the UK, Europe, and North America. And yes, it coincides perfectly with the release of their highly anticipated third studio album, We Were Just Here, dropping October 24.

The Countdown to We Were Just Here

Before we dive into the tour details, let’s talk about the new record that’s got fans buzzing. Just Mustard have already offered a tantalizing taste with the title track We Were Just Here and singles like Pollyanna and Endless Deathless. These tracks hint at an evolution in their sound—still atmospheric and expansive but with a newfound intensity.

Pre-orders and pre-saves for the album are live, so you can lock in your copy ahead of its release and be among the first to experience the next chapter of their sound.

Warming Up with The Cure

If you thought the headline tour was the only big news, think again. Just Mustard will also be opening for The Cure at two colossal outdoor gigs next summer. Catch them at Dublin’s Marlay Park on June 26 and Belfast’s Belsonic on June 28. What a way to prep for their own headlining run!

The Bigger Picture: Creating We Were Just Here

The band took the reins themselves to produce this record, recording at Black Mountain Studio in their hometown of Dundalk, Ireland. The mixing was handled by none other than David Wrench, known for his work with heavy-hitters like Frank Ocean and FKA Twigs. This combination promises a record that’s both intimate and sonically adventurous.

Their last album, Heart Under (2022), received rave reviews, including a full five-star rating for its unconventional structures and immersive experience. Critics described it as music that "keeps you guessing," a journey through sound that feels like driving through a tunnel with the windows down—thrilling and unpredictable.

Given that background, anticipation for We Were Just Here is sky-high.
