He may still be refusing to dance over some guilty deed or other, but George Michael is back doing what he does best... performing on stage, obviously. The somewhat troubled but immensely talented pop star has just announced plans to play the O2 in Dublin on November 1. He brings with him his new Symphonica show, the orchestral tour that will travel around Europe in the coming months, marking his first significant performances in nearly three years. The show promises to deliver a mixture of Michael's own greatest hits along with some carefully chosen covers, all reworked and re-arranged for the orchestra that will travel with him.

The Dublin performance will take place on Tuesday November 1 in the O2 Arena and tickets go on sale Monday May 16 at 9am. Tickets are priced between €76.25 and €131.25 and are available from [link]ticketmaster.ie[/link].
