Doves head to Dublin For Christmas
The Doves are ringing in the holiday season with a concert in Dublin.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 20 Oct 2005
The Manchester natives will be playing at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin on December 21.
The band last visited Ireland in February 2005 with gigs in Belfast and Dublin along with a Heineken Green Room Session concert in Castlebar.
Having just finished their U.S. tour, plugging latest album Some Cities, the lads should be in top form for Ireland. Tickets on sale now for the December gig.

With the recently released Some Cities completing a trio of gorgeously layered masterpieces, Doves are the band many take for granted. Brilliance is expected, and we have become accustomed to excellence from the Manchester trio. If there was anything unexpected about their set at a sold out Olympia, it was that we may have forgotten beforehand just how special they really are.

If there was anything unexpected about Doves set at a sold out Olympia, it was that we may have forgotten beforehand just how special they really are. It didn’t take long for one's memory to kick into gear.

Some Cities rages with a certain urgency, the sounds of a stolen car ride, charging from the outset with ‘Some Cities’, a thumping, forceful track that impressively kicks off proceedings.
