Joe Jackson returns to live music with dates in Dublin and Limerick

Acclaimed new-wave and jazz singer-songwriter Joe Jackson has announced two shows in Ireland on his upcoming tour, with tickets on sale this Friday.

The man behind 'Is She Really Going Out with Him?' will play the University College Hall in Limerick on March 13 and The Olympia Theatre in Dublin on March 15 next year.

Playing with the same band that featured on his most recent album Fool, Joe will share the stage with Graham Maby (Bass, Vocals), Teddy Kumpel (Guitar, Vocals) and Doug Yowell (Drums, Vocals, Electronics).

"We've been dealing with two viruses over the past two years, and the worst - the one we really need to put behind us - is fear," he said of the new tour.

"Love is the opposite of fear, so if you love live music, come out and support it!"

Hot Press' Roisin Dwyer praised his last show in Ireland at The Olympia in 2019, calling it a "lesson from the master."

Tickets for Joe Jackson in Limerick and Dublin will be available this Friday at 10am from ticketmaster.ie.
