James Arthur announces Cork and Dublin shows

X Factor 2012 winner James Arthur must have enjoyed his time in the Irish sun yesterday evening, prepping the crowd for Mr. Timberlake, because he's decided to come back for two dates of his own.

They do take place next February so we expect the Irish sun is unlikely to be beaming down on him then. Luckily, they're indoors –

You can catch him in Dublin's Olympia on February 3, and the Cork Opera House on February 4.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am, priced at €28 / €30 (Olympia).
