Barry Gibb for the O2

To tie in with the release of Mythology, the Bee Gees 50th Anniversary box set, Barry Gibb has hit the road for an extensive world tour.

Having just wrapped up the Australian leg, Gibb has now announced his plans for later in the year and Ireland is chief among them.

The creative leader of The Bee Gees, and sole surviving member, will play Dublin's O2 on September 25. The show promises to be a career-spanning event, and has been designed to pay tribute to his late brothers. It's going to be an emotional one.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 26, and are priced at €69.50 from Ticketmaster outlets and [link]www.ticketmaster.ie[/link].
