Irish pop rock band Picture This are set to take the stage at Malahide Castle and gardens on Saturday, June 18th.
Picture This consists of frontman Ryan Hennessy (vocals), Jimmy Rainsford (drums), Owen Cardiff (Guitar) and Cliff Deane (Bass).
Childhood friends Ryan and Jimmy initially set the band up, with Owen and Cliff joining later.
The band are Electric Picnic regulars and have played all over the world and signed with Republic Records.
It’s no surprise that Hennessy recorded the song "Take My Hand" on his iPhone and uploaded it to social media, getting over a million views, back in 2015.
Following the success of the video, the group were forced to move their debut gig from the Grand Social in Dublin to the larger-capacity Academy.
The achievement made them the first band in the venue's history to sell out their first show.
In early 2019, they released their highly anticipated album Mdrn Lv, which was met with mixed reviews.
Their third studio album “Life In Colour” was released in June 2021 and they supported the US pop trio The Jonas Brothers in the 3 arena.
