Naughty By Nature & Peanut Butter Wolf announce Dublin shows

The boys have been in the game since 1991, but their just-confirmed Tripod show on March 6 will be the first time they've played on these shores.

Balancing pop appeal with hardcore credibility, the group have five studio albums in the bag and should put on a storming show.

Tickets are €22.50/€27.50, available from Ticketmaster, Road Records, City Discs, Sound Cellar and other usual outlets.

In more good news for rap fans, San Jose's Peanut Butter Wolf will play Crawdaddy on March 13. One of the stars of underground hip-hop since the early '90s, he'll be releasing his latest album 2K8 in the next few weeks, featuring collaborations with names like Q-Tip, J Dilla, Madlib, Talib Kweli and Arabian Prince.
