Villagers announce Dublin show to celebrate 10 years of Darling Arithmetic

Villagers have announced an acoustic show in The Helix, Dublin on May 29, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of their album Darling Arithmetic.

First released in April 2015, Villagers' third studio LP topped the Irish charts in its first week and received the 2016 Ivor Novello award for album of the year.

"2025 marks the Ten-Year Anniversary of Darling Arithmetic; an album which holds a special place in my heart," wrote Conor O'Brien, the man behind the Villagers project, on Instagram. "We will be celebrating with three uniquely atmospheric acoustic shows in Paris, London & Dublin in May."
