Deadmau5 confirmed to play intimate District 8 show

This will be the Canadian DJ's first gig in Ireland since 2014, a long-awaited return for one of electronic music's most recognisable names.

The last Dublin show that Deadmau5 - real-name Joel Zimmerman - performed was to a sell-out crowd at the 3Arena. District 8 has a maximum capacity of just 1,000 so tickets are set to fly out.

Deadmau5 will also be making his return to Belfast this November to play at The Telegraph Building, a pop-up warehouse events space that once housed the printing presses for the Belfast Telegraph newspaper.

The District 8 leg take place on November 14, the day after the Belfast show.

Tickets for the District 8 show will start at €20 and will go on sale this Friday at 9am from Eventbrite.
