James Blunt, The Afterlove Tour: It’s been 12 years since everyone’s favourite ‘guilty pleasure’ broke onto the scene with his monster hit ‘You’re Beautiful’. This tour is in support of his fifth studio album of the same name and visits the 3arena on Monday, November 27th.
The Coronas: The Dublin four-piece have become known for their Christmas gigs at the Olympia. Terenure’s finest are continuing the tradition this year with two gigs planned for December 5th and 12th.
Divine Comedy: Neil Hannon has been writing his unique brand of orchestral pop since 1989. Last year’s longplayer ‘Foreverland’, (their first album in six years) was released to rave reviews from both critics and fans alike.
