Glen Hansard will pull double duty this December in Vicar Street. The Frames man has added a second Vicar Street date, this one set to take place on 17th December. Hansard will also play the same venue the following night on 18th December.

Hansard has been a busy man since the release of his first solo album Rhythm and Repose in the summer, taking in tours across the U.S. and Europe. The musical of Once, based on the film of the same name which won Hansard an Oscar for Best Song, picked up 8 Tony Awards a few months ago too, ensuring the best of summer's for the Dubliner.

Tickets for the new date will go on sale at 9am on Thursday 28th October.
