Dead Can Dance fans will be delighted to hear that after a five-year hiatus their heroes are embarking on a world tour, which includes an October 28 stop-off in Dublin’s Grand Canal Theatre.
Tickets priced €39.05 go on sale on Friday March 2. Whet your appetite with the four live tracks available for free when you sign up to the deadcandance.com mailing-list.
There’s also a new studio album to look forward to.
"Myself and Lisa (Gerrard) are genuinely excited to be working together again in the studio,” enthuses County Cavan resident Brendan Perry. “Writing began for the new album in the autumn of 2011 and the final recording sessions will take place at Quivvy Studios in Ireland in the early part of this year. It will be a spring album to coincide with both nature’s reawakening and the group’s subsequent rebirth.
“We have assembled a fine group of performers for the live concerts who have kindly put their own careers on hold in order to perform the music from our new album as well as some new arrangements from the archives.”
