The Boomtown Rats are a trailblazing rock / new wave band that emerged in the late 1970s, renowned for their raw energy, thought-provoking lyrics, and ability to reinvent themselves across decades.
Formed in 1975 in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland, the band was founded by Bob Geldof (vocals), Garry Roberts (guitar), Johnnie Fingers (keyboards), Pete Briquette (bass), Gerry Cott (guitar), and Simon Crowe (drums).
The first-ever UK #1 single 'Rat Trap', from an Irish Band found international acclaim, alongside hits including the iconic 'I Don’t Like Mondays', which topped charts around the world.
Sir Bob’s activism took centre stage with the monumental Live Aid concert in 1985. The Boomtown Rats disbanded in 1986, then after three decades, reunited in 2013, reintroducing their catalogue to a new generation.
In 2020, they released exciting new material with the much anticipated album 'Citizens of Boomtown'.
