The DJ, whose reference points in electronic music are David Guetta and Tiesto, had been producing songs for a number of significant artists, including Sigma, before finally making his breakthrough last year. He had a string of top 10 hits in 2016 alone, including the hugely propular tropical house song 'Sweet Love'.

Now Sigala is scheduled to play a night in The Academy, Dublin, followed by a night in Limelight, Belfast.

Sigala will play The Academy on February 23, 2017 and Limelight on February 24. Tickets for the event go on sale October 14 and can be found at ticketmaster.ie
