Radiohead have confirmed that they are to play Dublin's Point Theatre in support of their sixth studio album, Hail To The Thief.

The gig, set to take place on December 3, will be the band's second visit to Dublin in 2003 following their May 19 appearance in Belfast's Waterfront Hall and two dates in Dubin's Olympia on May 17 and 18.

Tickets for the gig go on sale from the usual outlets on Saturday May 17.
