Jedward announce a concert to kick off their fourth album promotional blitz

They’re set to perform at the Royal Theatre in Castlebar this autumn

We’re about to make your day, Irish Jedward fans: John and Edward have announced a new live date for October. The twins will perform an intimate gig at the Royal Theatre in Castlebar, County Mayo, on October 27 in support of their as-yet-untitled fourth studio album.

There’s no official release date for the tickets yet, but when the day finally comes, you can order tickets by calling 094 9023111 or 0818 300 000. Alternatively, you can go to the Royal Theatre’s website and get them from there. More dates are expected around the UK.

Jedward are expected to perform songs like ‘Waterline,’ ‘Lipstick’ and their new single, ‘Free Spirit.’ But fans can also expect new self-penned material from their upcoming LP and the obligatory Jedward choreography, too.

Jedward reveal they’re secretly great friends with The Killers and Muse

The Eurovision twins never would expect them to be ‘accepting’ of them

Pop twins Jedward have revealed that rockers The Killers are their biggest fans.

The Eurovision twins admitted that Brandon Flowers’ band can’t get enough of them – after meeting at an MTV awards ceremony.

And Edward revealed that Muse are also great fans of them, with John ever arm-wrestling their drummer.

“The Killers are really cool. It’s the groups you wouldn’t expect to be Jedward fans or ‘accepting’ towards us that are,” he said.

“We met them at the MTV European Music Awards one year, and then at the X Factor final. The X Factor final was funny, they didn’t know anybody, just us.

“Dermot O’Leary introduced himself to them, then they made a beeline for us – the familiar faces. Oh, and Muse.

“John actually arm-wrestled the drummer, that was also at the European Music Awards in 2012 or 2013.”

And Edward added in an interview with the Irish World that they finally feel they have made the music they want – after writing all of their fourth album.

“All the music for the fourth album was written by us, which was brilliant because we could see what direction the song was going,” he said.

“You find the concept, then the chorus. There’s some guitar and EDM in there, it’s not all dance music.

“Our music before wasn’t 100% what we wanted, but this album is 100% us, it feels like our first album. We’ve always done what we wanted, but writing your own songs and having people like them is something different.”

Jedward reunite with Coast Guard to thank them for saving their lives

The Lucan twins were stranded at sea

Pop duo Jedward took time to visit the Coast Guards who saved their lives in a sea rescue.

The X Factor stars were rescued by the Skerries Coast Guard last week, after getting stranded.

John and Edward Grimes showed their gratitude to the team this week, meeting with local volunteers back on Donabate beach.

Volunteer Vanessa Gaffney said it was difficult to find the famous twins when they got the emergency call:

“The tide was coming in, they really hadn’t much time left. We were mobilised by the Coast Guard’s Maritime Operations centre in Dublin.

“But the only location we had was Donabate beach, which goes on for several miles. And it was pitch black, which made it very hard to locate them.,” she told the Sun.

Edward added that the pair started to seriously panic:

“What was really freaking us out was we had our little cousin with us who couldn’t swim.

“The water was coming in and things were getting quite serious.”

Thankfully a Coast Guard helicopter arrived and saved the boys.

“We owe our lives to them,” the twins said.

Embarrassed Jedward admit they hoped to keep sea rescue a secret

The X Factor stars couldn’t stop their movie-like rescue getting out though

Pop twins Jedward have admitted they hoped to keep their embarrassing sea rescue secret.

The Eurovision stars were rescued by a Coast Guard helicopter when they were close to drowning after a late-night walk with their cousins.

The former X Factor sensations were only saved after calling their mum who got the emergency services on the case.

But John admitted it has left them utterly embarrassed when the news broke last week.

“We didn’t want anybody finding out, that’s why we called our Mum and then she phoned the emergency services,” he said.

And John told 2FM that he was shocked by the scene that greeted him when the life guard came for them.

He said it was like “something out of a movie”. He added: “We were expecting to be rescued by boat, but were surprised when a giant helicopter came to save the day.”
