The veteran rocker will be in the Marquee, at the Docklands on Centre Park Road, on June 29. Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 29, priced €59.80 standing & €65.70 seated.

He joins Paul Weller, Eric Clapton, Christy Moore, Shayne Ward, Dolly Parton and comedian Tommy Tiernan on the lineup for the summer gig series.

The show will mark Meat Loaf's return to the Irish live arena after an inter-vocal cyst forced him to walk off stage halfway through a concert in Newcastle last November. The remaining dates of his European tour, including scheduled shows in Belfast and Killarney, were cancelled as he took time off to have an operation.
