Highly-fancied Dublin quartet Girl Band have announced a series of 13 new live dates, including a night in Vicar Street on 1 April, 2016. The band, whose ‘Holding Hands With Jamie’ has been among the best-recieved Irish albums of the year, will begin touring again on January 22nd with a date at Brewery Corner, Kilkenny. They will play a series of dates in Ireland, the UK and Belgium from January to March, before the show in Vicar Street at the beginning of April.
The news will come as a relief to many fans of the band, who were forced to cancel all remaining 2015 shows in late October, citing health reasons. They had been scheduled to play gigs across continental Europe and North America in November and December, before the cancellation of a show in Utrecht on October 22nd.
The freshly announced gig dates are as follows:
Fri 22nd Jan – Brewery Corner, Kilkenny, Ireland
Sat 23rd Jan – Gabo’s, Castlebar, Ireland
Wed 17th Feb – Trix Antwerp, Belgium
