Swedish popsters I'm From Barcelona will play Dublin this December.

The 29-strong collective played a couple of Irish dates when their first album 'Let Me Introduce My Friends' was released in 2006, including a memorable gig at Whelan's involving a ticker-tape/balloon explosion.

Now they're preparing the release of their second album, 'Who Killed Harry Houdini?' this October, and will play The Academy on December 12th in support of it.

Tickets are €17.50 and on sale this Saturday (July 19th) from usual outlets.
