The Cranberries announced an expanded deluxe reissue of Wake Up And Smell The Coffee on 22 October 2026. The anniversary edition is scheduled for 29 January 2027 through Geffen/UMe.
Wake Up And Smell The Coffee returns in expanded formats
A published announcement dated 22 October 2026 gives the reissue a 29 January 2027 release date. The collection marks the 25th anniversary of the band’s fifth studio album.
Universal Music Canada’s format details list 3LP, D2C, 2CD, coloured and standard black vinyl, 1CD and a limited liquid-filled LP. The digital deluxe edition contains 36 tracks.
The Cranberries’ Limerick beginnings shape the anniversary set
The Cranberries emerged from Limerick, Ireland, as a band built around guitar, bass, drums and vocals. The group’s official biography traces its beginnings to a four-piece formed in the city in 1989.
Early demos led to a contract with Island Records, while producer Stephen Street became closely linked with the band’s early albums. That history connects the new edition with the record’s original creative team rather than presenting it as a simple archival repackage.
The release also places the album within the group’s wider catalogue. It follows the band’s established mix of melodic rock writing, expanded studio arrangements and material shaped for live performance.
The expanded set connects studio mixes with Vicar Street
The 3LP and 2CD editions add new 2026 stereo mixes by Stephen Street, B-sides and previously unreleased live recordings made at Dublin’s Vicar Street. The bonus material includes Capetown, In The Ghetto, Many Days, Such A Waste and 7 Years.
The package also includes the Oceanic Long Version of Analyse, a Marius de Vries remix edit of Time Is Ticking Out and three Vicar Street performances. Expanded liner notes and a track-by-track account from the band complete the larger editions.
