Dinosaur Jr announce two Irish dates

Reformed Massachusetts outfit Dinosaur Jr have announced two Irish dates as part of their upcoming world tour.

The band, who were an integral part of the grunge scene in the nineties, will play in Galway's Black Box on Monday May 10, and Dublin's Vicar St on Tuesday May 11.

Special guests at both gigs are Idaho natives Built to Spill. The band released their seventh album There Is No Enemy in October last year.

Tickets for both shows go on sale this Friday, February 24.
