Kurt Vile announces first solo Irish show in six years
The performance will include stripped-down renditions of his catalogue.
Kurt Vile has announced his first European solo tour in six years, with a date in Dublin at Vicar Street on June 12.
The prolific singer-songwriter will perform stripped-down renditions from his acclaimed catalogue. Vile has just celebrated the one-year anniversary of Bottle It In, his widely acclaimed eighth studio album. He's also recently collaborated with Courtney Barnett on 2017's Lotta Sea Lice and the pair subsequently toured in support of the album's release.
This past October, Vile released a short documentary film directed by Ryan Scott titled (bottle back), that captures him camping out in the Catskill Mountains in upper state New York alongside fellow musicians/friends The Sadies and Matt Sweeney. The short film features a solo acoustic adaptation of ‘Bassackwards’, a performance of ‘Check Baby’ with The Violators and a special version of ‘Baby’s Arms’ featuring The Sadies.
Tickets are €35.00 and go on sale January 15 at 9am.
