REM have confirmed details of an outdoor show taking place in Dublin's Ardgillan Castle on June 19. Tickets go on sale on December 3 with prices to be confirmed.

Located between Skerries and Balbriggan, the 18th century manor house is surrounded by 80 hectares of woodlands and gardens and has a definite hint of the Slanes about it.

2005 is shaping up to be a Stipe-tastic year with the band also playing February shows in the Belfast Odyssey (25) and the Dublin Point (26).
