Already scheduled for a pre-Christmas performance in Dublin's Vicar Street on December 17, Villagers have just confirmed that they will now play the following night as well.

It's a second chance to catch the in-demand Dublin band, who released their second album, {Awayland}, to much acclaim earlier this year and earned a Mercury Prize nomination for their efforts.

Aside from the capital city shows, there are December dates for Belfast, Derry, Galway and Cork.

Ahead of that, they play Dundalk's Spirit Store (sold-out) and Sligo Live this weekend, before they kick off a European tour in Iceland.

Tickets for the December 18 show in Vicar Street go on sale this Friday, October 25.
