Chris Rea announces Dublin Gig

The ‘Fool (If You Think it’s Over)’ and “’Driving Home for Christmas’ star will be gracing Irish shores to promote his latest record La Passione, which is currently slated for a September release.

Since first coming to public attention in the late ‘70s Rea gigged and released records tirelessly until stricken with pancreatic cancer in the early 00’s. After making a full recovery Rea swore to himself to make a return to his blues roots, reminding his fanbase as well as blues fans world-wide that he was no slouch on the six string. Recently, Rea has experienced something of a career renaissance with a string of releases under his own Jazee Blue Label imprint garnering no small amount of success in their own right.

Tickets for Rea’s Dublin date go on sale this Friday and are priced at €40.
