In Ireland Picture This are SuperStars; their debut single ‘Take My Hand’ is a veritable anthem, the only band ever to sell out 5 successive 3Arenas (Dublin’s equivalent to London's O2), and the 4 huge arena shows in Belfast and Dublin in December 2025 sold out in less than one hour with 50k tickets sold.
It all began in 2015; a young Ryan Hennessy from the small town of Athy, County Kildare, Ireland recorded a video of his song "Take My Hand" on his iPhone. The video was uploaded to Facebook and YouTube, and amassed over 4 million views across all platforms. Receiving a message from a drummer, also from Athy, Jimmy Rainsford; saying they had to play together, it sparked a journey that led to the band's debut gig at the Grand Social venue in Dublin, which they sold out in under 30 minutes. To meet the demand, the gig was moved to The Academy, which has a capacity of 850 people. The band became the first act to sell out the venue for their debut gig.
