And So I Watch You From Afar will curate The Stay Golden, two nights of riotous entertainment in Whelan's this May. The Belfast band will play the Wexford Street venue on the 15th and 16th next, along with a selection of hand-picked support acts. 

This will be the band's first full Dublin gig since the release of their frankly outstanding third album All Hail Bright Futures, which is among the best releases so far in 2013 (in this writer's opinion anyway). No word yet on who the support acts will be yet, so we'll bring that to you as soon as we have it.

Tickets for both dates, priced at €14.50, are on sale now - Thursday 15th and Friday 16th.
