The National Concert Hall will host a series of gigs this summer under the banner 'This Must Be the Place', which will see a number of international artists play the Dublin venue.

First up is pop legend Marc Almond, formerly of Soft Cell, who will introduce his new album 'The Velvet Trail' to the audience on August 1st, alongside many of his older hits.

On August 6th, Mark Kozelek - the man behind Sun Kil Moon - will perform his latest album 'Benji', alongside his 2003 album 'Ghosts of the Great Highway', while on August 15th the semi-reclusive British songwriter Keaton Henson - who rarely performs live - will be accompanied by his 22-piece sinfonietta for his first-ever Irish gig.

Tickets for all three gigs are on sale this Friday, April 10th from nch.ie, and price points (not inclusive of booking fee) are as below:

Marc Almond: €40, €45, €50
