The delightfully left-of-centre Regina Spektor will play her first Irish headline show in over six years when she treads the boards of the Olympia on 19th August next.

Spektor released her sixth studio album What We Saw From The Cheap Seats in May of last year, but she is arguably best known for the success which followed her earlier material Soviet Kitsch and Begin To Hope.

Tickets for the show go on sale at 9am on Friday, priced at €33.50.
