Mercury-nominated band Doves are returning to the stage after twelve long years, announcing two dates in Dublin and Belfast this coming April.

After overwhelming international response to their ambitious latest track, Jimi Goodwin, Andy and Jez Williams take their sweeping, emotive live experience indoors once more, on April 6th in Dublin's Olympia Theatre and April 7th at the Limelight in Belfast.

Returning for their first headline theatre shows in twelve years, the last chance Doves fans got to enjoy live versions of their hits was at the Olympia in Dublin on Mon 20 April 2009.

Doves returned briefly to Ireland in June 2019 during an initial run of comeback outdoor and festival dates, that time as main support to Noel Gallagher at his huge Malahide Castle show.

Tickets to catch Doves next year go on general sale to fans on Fri 21 August 2020 at 9am via Ticketmaster.
