Eels have just announced their Dublin return with a fully-seated performance in The Olympia theatre set for Tuesday 1st July. The show will be in celebration of the release of the band's new album The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everrett which will hit the shops on April 18th. The album is described as "an extraordinarily vivid and intimate document of a personal struggle" which, trust us, will be interesting coming from this band. Tickets will be on sale from this Friday for €33.50.

The Doors Alive will play The Academy on Friday 5th December and you can get your hands on a (very) early Christmas present for someone when tickets go on sale from 9am on Friday priced at €15.

For the comedy fans among you, Omid Djalilil will hold court in the Olympia on 4th November next. Tickets to see the multiple award winner will be available from this Friday.

Also, don't forget about Ant & Dec's third and final Takeaway on Tour show on Friday 12th September, as well as Fitz & The Tantrums on Monday next and Hermitage Green this Thursday.
