"Be happy for me..."

Sinéad O'Connor is among the star turns on June 16th when Dublin's Olympia plays host to a Special Olympics fundraiser.

In addition to her recent collaborations with Massive Attack and Moby – see the next issue of Hot Press for an appraisal of the latter – O'Connor is currently assembling her own album in Dublin.

MC'ed by HP Readers' Poll-topper Tom Dunne, the rest of the line-up includes Kila, Sharon Shannon, Maria Doyle-Kennedy and Babelfish.

Tickets priced €22.50 are on sale now.
