Rodrigo Y Gabriela set for the Olympia in 2012

Having played Marlay Park and released their Live In France record over the summer, as well as having soundtracked Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides with legendary German composer Hans Zimmer, next year is shaping up to be just as eventful for the dynamic duo of the six string.

The Mexican act have just announced plans to play the Olympia Theatre, Dublin, on Sunday February 19. It's all part of their tour of the UK and Ireland with C.U.B.A., featuring some of greatest musicians Havana has to offer, and marks the first time Rodrigo y Gabriela have hit the road with a full band.

They will be promoting Area 52, a new album recorded with C.U.B.A. over the summer, which is due out on January 23.

Tickets for the Olympia date will cost €39.05 and go on sale Wednesday November 16 at all Ticketmaster outlets and [link]www.ticketmaster.ie[/link].
