They play here a lot (not that I'm complaining!) so it would be very unusual by their standards to not add in a headline non-festival Irish show on the back of a new album. They have a festival run in Europe over the summer and they are back over this way for a string of dates starting in Poland on November 25. Includes Germany, Switzerland and, last week, they announced four UK dates for December 7-10. I'd be absolutely stunned if they don't finish the European tour in Ireland after that.

ghostdancer wrote: » nowhere else for them really though, way too big for the Olympia, and the UK gigs are arenas. as I said in another post, their last UK gig is 10th December, and there's nothing on the 3Arena website booked for the 12th...

I for one salute them and hope they become huge and knock some of the generic muc off the charts
