Pop superstar Kelly Clarkson is heading out on tour, bringing her hit machine to Dublin this year. She released her fifth album ‘Stronger’ late 2011 and it has been an incredible ten years leading up to this with over 20 million albums sold worldwide, not to mention the winner of two Grammy awards, two American music awards, two MTV awards, one country music award and eleven Billboard awards. All that by the age of thirty, I feel like I’ve done very little with my years.

No doubt she has a huge fanbase here in Ireland and she will bring the “Stronger” tour to The O2, Dublin on October 10th 2012. Tickets for the show are €44.05 and will be on sale May 25th at 9am. She will be joined on the night by upcoming pop act Cover Drive.

Tickets are available from Ticketmaster.ie and outlets nationwide. Her third single to be lifted from ‘Stronger’ will be released on June 3rd and will be the track Dark Side.
