Fresh from a fantastic 2010 that saw the release of his debut album, and having wrapped it up by hanging out with Dick Clarke and Ryan Seacrest on New Year's Eve (see below), hotly-tipped hip hop artist Mike Posner has just announced details of his first Irish headliner.

Posner is set to play The Academy in Dublin on February 23. He's already got a bit of a following this side of the pond, having spent weeks as the top played artist on RTE 2fm last year.
