Glen Hansard adds second Dublin date and Mandela Hall Belfast show

Due to popular demand, Glen Hansard and his band have added a second Dublin date at the National Concert Hall on Sunday, 4 December 2022.

Kickstarting at 8pm with support from Lemoncello, tickets will go on sale this Friday at 10am. The musician has also added a date at Belfast's Mandela Hall on December 6.

Hansard has been quietly working away on new music with his current band mates Joseph Doyle (bass), Earl Harvin (drums) and Ruth O’Mahony Brady (keyboards). The fruits of their labours should see the light of day in 2023.

In the meantime, the four-piece will play a one-off show here at home in the National Concert Hall on December 3rd and 4th, to introduce some new songs and get reacquainted with some old musical friends from Glen's extensive back catalogue.
