The Original Rudeboys have just announced that they will be supporting fellow Dubliners The Script on their forthcoming UK arena tour starting on Friday, March 8 in Nottingham.

The tour will also take in shows in Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Sheffield, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Brighton and finish off with two shows in London at the 02 Arena.

The downside is that the band have had to reschedule their Irish shows planned for later this month.

In a statement The Original Rudeboys said:

"The UK tour means that we will have to reschedule our Irish shows that were booked in for March, apologies to the promoters and to fans who already bought tickets in Navan, Galway, Tipperary, Dundalk, Cork & Limerick but all dates will be rescheduled in April and we hope you understand this is too big an opportunity for us as a band to turn down.

"Unfortunately the Savoy Theatre in Cork is not available for our rescheduled date so our Cork show will now take place at the Half Moon Theatre (behind Cork Opera House ) on Sunday 14th of April at 6pm. As before, it will be Over 16s and original tickets will be valid."

Thanks! Ned, Burch, Walsh

Best of luck on the road lads!
