Mark Knopfler '08 dates announced

He'll play the RDS Main Hall on May 19, before heading to Belfast's Odyssey Arena the following night.

The shows form part of the 'Kill To Get Crimson' tour in support of his latest solo album, but expect to hear plenty of Dire Straits material on the night, too.

Tickets for the Dublin show are priced €59.50, while those for Belfast will cost £38 and £40. Tickets for both dates go on sale from Monday September 24.
