Valentine’s Day 2012 promises to be extra special for Melissa Etheridge fans with their heroine bringing her Fearless Love Tour to the Dublin Olympia. Tickets are €44.05.

Since bursting onto the scene in 1988, the American has scored five platinum albums and had the likes of ‘Bring Me Some Water’, ‘Ain’t It Heavy’, ‘I’m The Only One’ and ‘Come To My Window’ played off the air by radio.

Now in rude health following her fight with breast cancer, Etheridge’s new album features guest appearances by two of the young whippersnappers she’s influenced, Joss Stone and Natasha Bedingfield.
