Shane Filan has announced a UK and Irish tour for hte autumn. And it includes a date at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin.

In a statement, Shane said: "Love Always, is a collection of some of my favourite classic love songs. It's an album I've wanted to make for a long time. For me there's nothing quite like singing an amazing ballad and this album is full of them.

"Some of the ideas for it came directly from my fans because they would always say to me, we would love to hear you sing this song. So I decided to make a list of all my favourite love songs and then put them together on one album. The hard part was narrowing it down to those that have ended up on the album.

"There's also a few original tracks on there," he added, "some that I've written myself. It's always amazing to get into the studio and see what we can come up with.

"I can't wait for my fans to hear the album. Its been a long time coming."

Shane Filan will perform at The Olympia Theatre, Dublin, on Thursday October 19.

Tickets from €34.50 including booking fee go on sale Friday May 12th at 9am from Ticketmaster. Pre-Sale Tickets go on sale Tuesday May 9th at 9.00am from Ticketmaster.
