Ray Lamontagne has just announced a Dublin gig next year.

The husky-voiced, hairy-faced folk singer will play the Bord Gais Energy Theatre on May 9th.

It's part of his 'Just Passing Through' acoustic tour, which will be the first time that he's played Ireland in seven years. Joining him on bass is John Stirratt of Wilco and they will play as a duo.

Tickets are from €60.50 including booking fee, and they're on sale from usual outlets next Friday, November 24th at 9am.
