It's been quite a while since we heard anything from Hozier but now he's blessing Irish fans with not one but three Dublin shows next month.

Billed as 'intimate rehearsal shows', fans can probably expect to hear some new music from the 'Take Me To Church' hitmaker, and all proceeds from the shows will go to three charities close to Hozier’s heart: Safe Ireland, One In Four and the Peter McVerry Trust.

The three gigs will take place on Monday September 3rd, Wednesday September 5th and Friday September 7th in The Academy, Dublin, with tickets costing €30, limited to 2 per person, available from 9am Friday 17th August at www.Hozier.com.

Gold dust will be an understatement.

Following these Dublin shows, Hozier will then play London’s Koko on Tuesday 11th September, in aid of War Child, with a further announcement on Ireland, UK & European dates coming on 17th September.

New music from the man himself is "set to follow very soon".
