Following a festival-stealing set at Electric Picnic - credit must also go to a truly mesmerising Sinéad O'Connor guest appearance - velvet-voiced troubadour John Grant will return to Ireland next March for a small Irish tour that takes in Dublin's Olympia Theatre (Mar 3) and Galway's Roisin Dubh (5).

Tickets for the Dublin and Galway shows go on sale this Wednesday and Friday, respectively.
