The Coronas add another Olympia date
The Dublin band sets a venue record with a sixth Christmas show.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 21 Nov 2011
A lot of Coronas fans must be treating themselves to an early Christmas present as tickets for the Terenure act are selling so fast that a sixth and final date at Dublin's Olympia Theatre has been scheduled for Dec. 11. MCD says this is the longest stay for any Irish rock band at the Dame Street theatre.
The Dec. 9 and 10 shows are sold out, but seats for the Dec. 6,7, and 8 shows are still up for grabs. Tickets for the 11th go on sale Friday and are €27 including booking fee at www.ticketmaster.ie.
The nearly week-long string of dates come as The Coronas are promoting their new album Closer To You. Watch the video for the first single off the album 'Addicted To Progress' below.
If you somehow can't make it to one of the six gigs, don't worry, we can get you up-close and personal with the foursome.

The Coronas are on the march. Having spent six weeks in LA working with studio guru Tony Hoffer on their third album Closer to You, they are about to embark on a campaign for world domination that will take them right through next year. So what is it that makes the band tick? In a remarklably revealing interview, Ireland’s most down-to-earth frontman Danny O’Reilly tells Roe McDermott about the making of The Coronas’ masterpiece, why he’d never go solo, working with his mammy – and how a certain blonde beauty has stolen his heart.
