After a spectacular performance in the Academy, Yola has announced a new December date for the Olympia Theatre in Dublin.

For the last three years, Yola (who previously performed as Yola Carter) has been a standout at the Americana Fest in Nashville. She released a debut solo EP in 2016 after the dissolution of her band Phantom Limb. She also toured as a vocalist with Massive Attack, among other acts.

The Bristol singer-songwriter's stunning debut album Walk Through Fire, produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, was described by Hot Press's Pat Carty as "a marvellously authentic-sounding slice of country/soul, more the kind you'd expect from the banks of the Mississippi than the Avon."

Yola is set to play the Olympia on December 1. Tickets from €30 (incl. booking fee) go on sale this Friday, May 17, at 9am. See Ticketmaster for more information.
