Andrea Corr and Kiki Dee announced as special guests for Gilbert O’Sullivan’s Dublin and London shows

The shows come as part of his Celebrating 60 Years of Music tour and mark the release of his new album On The Record.

Gilbert O’Sullivan has announced special guests for his upcoming Dublin and London shows, coming as part of his Celebrating 60 Years of Music tour and marking the release of his new studio album, On The Record, due out on November 6 via BMG.

Both the Dublin show (October 10) and the London gig (November 8) will feature a special appearance from Andrea Corr, who will join O’Sullivan on his new album and on stage for the track 'Is That You?'.

Kiki Dee, meanwhile, will open the London show with a set with her guitarist Carmelo Luggeri.

“Gilbert is such a wonderful songwriter,” said Corr, “and I was thrilled to be asked to record the duet with him. ‘Is That You?’ is such a beautiful, poignant song - it will be a treat to perform it live with him at these two special shows.”

Meanwhile, Dee commented: “Carmelo and I are so looking forward to sharing the stage with Gilbert – an iconic British singer/songwriter at the iconic London Palladium.”

Born in Waterford and raised in England, O’Sullivan has gone on to enjoy a career that has spanned 55 years and Top 10 singles, with No. 1’s around the world. 1971’s ‘Alone Again (Naturally)’ topped the US charts for six weeks and earned him three Grammy nominations.

In 2024, he released a Songbook containing 12 newly recorded versions of tunes from throughout his career. It was recorded at an audience-free Lafayette in King’s Cross, London, and features long-time guitarist Bill Shanley as well as producers Andy Wright and Gavin Goldberg.
