“Ireland has a very music-oriented culture and a proud musical heritage,” said Hall. “It was the perfect storm for a band, a concert and an audience. There are very few first-time experiences after you’ve been doing this for more than 40 years.”
Daryl Hall & John Oates are soul survivors. Signed to Atlantic by Ahmet Ertegan in the 1970’s, from the mid-’70s to the mid-’80s, the duo would score six #1 singles, including “Rich Girl” (also #1 R&B), “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) (also #1 R&B), “Maneater” and “Out of Touch.” By 1987, the R.I.A.A. recognized Daryl Hall and John Oates as the number-one selling duo in music history, a record they still hold today. In May 2008, the duo was honored with the Icon Award during BMI’s 56th annual Pop Awards. In 2014, the two musicians hit another high as they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Fathom Events Vice President of Programming Kymberli Frueh-Owens said, “There is a reason Daryl and John have remained so popular over the years – their songwriting still resonates with fans all across the world. We are pleased to be able to bring this amazing concert event to U.S. audiences. In addition to this concert, music fans across the nation have a year full of fantastic concerts ahead of them this year on the big screen.”
“Cinema 1 is delighted to be a partner in presenting ‘Daryl Hall & John Oates: Recorded Live From Dublin’,” said CEO Ray Carolin. “The legendary rock duo’s concert is an astonishing visual that will not disappoint fans.”
