Thanks very much

Nineties grunge kings Pearl Jam look set to play Dublin next June, with an insider telling Dublin Live it's "a dead cert".

Eddie Vedder and Co have already had a busy 2018, touring the US, Europe and playing the 02 in London during the summer.

And the Seattle band, billed by music bible Rolling Stone as "one of rock's great arena acts" are being VERY strongly tipped to play Malahide Castle next summer.

The Cure have already been confirmed to play the north Dublin venue and tickets for their June 8 gig sold out in just two hours when they went on sale last week.

It's likely that tickets to the Alive hitmakers' show will go just as quickly.

An insider told Dublin Live: "The Pearl Jam gig is definitely going ahead - it's all done and dusted, planning is sorted with Fingal [County Council] - all that remains is for it to be announced.

"It's a dead cert."

A spokesperson for the local authority said that they had no comment to make.

In June, gig goers in their thousands descended on the scenic coastal village as Malahide Castle played host to LCD Soundsystem, Kodaline, Gorillaz, Nile Rodgers' Chic and Liam Gallagher - with the former Oasis singer's show being hailed as one the best gigs of the summer.
