Rock 'n' rollers Primal Scream are set to play shows in both Dublin and Belfast this December.

This announcement follows their headline gig at Dun Laoghaire Pier last Sunday and the release of their greatest singles discography album, Maximum Rock 'N' Roll: The Singles.

The British rock band will play Dublin's Olympia Theatre on December 9 and then take a trip up north to Ulster Hall in Belfast to perform on December 10.

Primal Scream's career has spanned three and a half decades and they are no stranger to exploring their sound, dipping their toes into psychedelic pop as well as good 'aul fashioned rock 'n' roll.

Collaborating with the likes to Kate Moss to George Clinton, this only emphasises their experimental sound. Suffering through drug addiction, their own personal trauma and the death of guitarist Robert 'Throb' Young, time and time again the band have risen from the ashes and proved themselves victorious.

Mani of the Stone Roses and Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine have even joined alongside Primal Scream.

Maximum Rock ‘N’ Roll: The Singles is out now and celebrates Primal Scream's greatest hits as they triumphed over adversity and kept true to their oxymoronic ever-changing but consistent sound.

Tickets will be available to purchase this Friday at 9am on Ticketmaster. Tickets for the Olympia Theatre are priced at €35.50.
