Duke Dumont announces Dublin and Belfast shows

Duke Dumont has announced he will be performing at Dublin's 3Arena on October 25 and Belfast's Telegraph on November 20.

The shows are part of Dumont's UK & Ireland tour, which is in support of his latest album Union, released last year.

"I'm not concerned with playlists or charts," he said. "My only focus is building the best live show I can, giving the best experience I can."

"I've come to realise there aren't many things in life that bring people together on one level," added the English DJ and music producer. "My album Union is a homage to this unique experience. The entire essence of the album is channelled to create that feeling.

"Each song was made with the live experience in mind. The album was made to be listened to in its entirety - from start to finish - and absorbed in a live music environment. It was not made to appease playlists or radio. It's intended to take the listener on a journey, not provide a quick fix."

Dumont will also be performing at this year's Electric Picnic.

Tickets for Dumont's Dublin and Belfast shows will be available here on May 1.
