Crowded House confirm Irish concert dates

The Antipodean popsters, who formed originally in 1985, will be promoting their latest album (their sixth to date) due for release in March 2010.

Says band founder Neil Finn of the record: "This 11 track album is exotic in parts, traditional in origin, through many a twist and turn we fashioned some drama and intrigue."

The Irish dates are part of a worldwide tour, which will see the band visit the UK in May/ June and hit the USA in late summer.

Tickets for both Irish concerts, priced from €54.80 including booking fee, will go on sale this Friday 29 January at 9.00am.
