Fresh from their gig at Longitude over the weekend, The Coronas have just announced a date at Dublin's Olympia Theatre later this year.

Danny O'Reilly and co. will play the Dame Street venue for the first time since their record-breaking run of six sold-out shows in 2011 on Friday, December 9th.

They said: "There's no doubt in our minds that our shows in the Olympia have played a huge part in making us the band that we are today. Whether it was our first time playing there as an opening act, or our ‪6 night sold-out run there in 2011, the atmosphere has always amazed and inspired us. We can't wait to get back there this Christmas to try out some brand new material and of course, play some of the songs that got us there. See you all then. Love, Danny Dave Knoxy and Conor Xxx”.

Tickets are €34.50 including booking fee, and on sale from usual outlets this Thursday at 9am.
