Here’s what Hot Press’s Will Russell had to say in his live report of Harvey’s September gig at the 3Olympia in Dublin :

“The set tonight consists of two Acts, the first being the new album in its entirety, followed by a tremendous interlude and then the second act consisting of some of Harvey’s greatest songs including ‘Angelene’, ‘Send His Love To Me’, ‘The Desperate Kingdom of Love’, ‘Man-Size’, ‘Dress’ – none of which have been played in almost a decade, indeed ‘Man-Size’ had not been played live since 2008! Oh man, this gig was over delivery on a grand scale. Rampant PJ fans were in rapture.

“I ain’t going to lie, stuff got peculiar, much of I Inside is inscrutable, indeed much of its alluring beauty is its baffling nature. It’s not easy to absorb, the best bet is to simply immerse yourself in the spectacle.”

Harvey’s tenth studio album I Inside the Old Year Dying landed at Number 5 in the UK album chart – her fourth Top 10 record.

The presale for next year’s show at Custom House Square in Belfast opens tomorrow, 28 November at 10am. General tickets go on sale on Friday 1 December at 10am via www.ticketmaster.ie
