Manchester based indie group Everything Everything have just announced that they'll return to Irish shores later this year for an exclusive headline performance at The Academy, Dublin on October 8.

Tickets priced €22.50 inclusive of booking fee go on-sale this Friday, March 15 from Ticketmaster nationwide.

The announcement comes on the back of their hugely successful sold-out February show at Whelan's, where they performed tracks from their recently released follow-up to 2007 debut Man Alive, Arc.

Hot Press went along to that Whelans gig and spoke to band members Jonathan Higgs and Jeremy Pritchard. The lads were on fine form, talking about meeting Bono, their fans' unusual habit of drawing pictures of them, and how they're making more of a connection on stage and on record these days.
