CMAT’s appearance on the show comes off the heels of her recent performances of “EURO-COUNTRY” and “Stay For Something” on the series 2 premiere of SNL UK as musical guest alongside host Jeff Goldblum! She also starred in the “45 More Seconds with Fouracres”.
EURO-COUNTRY, released one year ago via AWAL Recordings, was recorded in New York and co-produced by long-time collaborator Oli Deakin and CMAT. It has been nominated for numerous awards and received widespread critical acclaim.
CMAT, broke into the US public consciousness this year with a marked rapid assent that follow the critically acclaimed 2025 release of EURO-COUNTRY, her album blending pop, folk, country, and indie rock, which explored themes as wide-ranging as Irish economics, to the experience of being a woman in the music industry.
Since the album’s release, CMAT has garnered almost 300M streams, a major viral moment with her single “Take A Sexy Picture Of Me” and a litany of co-signs from artists like Brandi Carlile, who called her a “once in every 500 years star”, Olivia Rodrigo, who covered her song “When A Good Man Cries” on BBC Radio 1, and Elton John, Robyn, Hayley Williams and Marcus Mumford have all proclaimed themselves fans. Drawn to her artistic integrity, classic songwriting, singular sense of humor and unshakable and inspiring commitment to songwriting and blending maximalist pop music with country/folk storytelling and instrumentation.
Most recently, CMAT has been out on an incredible run of US festival shows including breakout performances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Newport Folk Festival which Rolling Stone proclaimed a “star-making turn.” At Newport she did a hilarious collab with Subway Takes garnering over 2 MILLION VIEWS across platforms in just one week. She also spoke with Stereogum for some fun social features – see HERE & HERE!
CMAT marked the one-year anniversary of EURO-COUNTRY with the release of four live songs from the album. Recorded with The Very Sexy CMAT Band at their 20,000-capacity headliner at St Anne’s Park, Dublin in May 2026, EURO-COUNTRY (Live at St Anne’s) captures the energy, humour and infectious joy that confirms the Dunboyne Diana as one of our era’s standout live acts.

She recently supported Brandi Carlile and will cap off 2026 with more festival dates at Austin City Limits, Corona Capital and Primavera Sound, the year in which CMAT transformed from one of Europe’s most acclaimed new voices to a genuine breakout star in America.
