Two Door Cinema Club celebrate the 15th anniversary of their 2010 debut album, Tourist History with the announcement of physical formats with tracks pressed on vinyl for the first time, available from the 28th November 2025 - out via [PIAS] Recordings. The band have also announced an additional 2026 live date on the 2nd August 2026 as TK Maxx presents DEPOT Live at Cardiff Castle.
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, first released on 1st March 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. This June, 'What You Know' surpassed 1billion streams on Spotify.
Discussing the reissue, the band said, "The time has come, finally! A repress of Tourist History! You can be sure that, without fail, there will be a comment on anything we post on social media asking when a repress will happen. The wait is over and it's bigger and better than the original. We've packaged together so many goodies, hidden gems and iconic memorabilia from the era to try and capture the sheer fun of three 20 somethings having the time of their lives, making music, playing shows and living the dream."
The anniversary offerings include a repress of Tourist History on classic black vinyl, as well as a striking gatefold double gold vinyl edition featuring a curated collection of official remixes and B-sides from the Tourist History era—available on vinyl for the very first time. For collectors, a deluxe triple vinyl box set will present an expansive selection of remixes, rarities, and demos, alongside the band's Four Words To Stand On EP ,also making its vinyl debut, and an exclusive Tourist History era photo book taken by Alex Trimble. Completing the lineup, a double CD edition will include the original album plus additional remixes and alternate versions, offering fans a comprehensive celebration of Two Door Cinema Club's landmark debut.
The band recently announced 4 huge shows as part of a special Tourist History anniversary tour in 2026, with the trio taking to the stage at Live at the Marquee in Cork on the 23rd June, Fairview Park in Dublin on the 24th June (SOLD OUT), Crystal Palace Park in London on the 26th June (SOLD OUT), and TK Maxx presents DEPOT Live at Cardiff Castle on the 2nd August
Speaking about the upcoming tour, the band said:
"We have incredible memories of touring around Ireland in our converted dog groomer's van, playing every pub or club that would take us, it's where Tourist History really came to life. Before anyone else, it was at home where we felt the love so it feels right to announce our exciting anniversary plans for Ireland first."

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