Some may remember him from winning the X-Factor in 2010, and others may not remember him at all, but Matt Cardle is returning to Irish shores once again as part of a new, revamped and intimate world tour, which will reach Whelan’s on April 24th 2013.

Cardle’s new show ‘Unplugged’ follows up two sold out dates in the Olympia Theatre earlier this year, and is a follow up tour to his latest album ‘The Fire’, released in October of this year. Cardle will be performing acoustic versions of songs from both of his albums, the latter of which Cardle claims has been written with live performance specifically in mind. With a lot of performance experience under his belt in the last two years, it will be interesting to see what he pulls out of the bag.

Tickets for this show go on sale Wednesday December 12th at 9am, at a price of €25 (inc. booking fee). Tickets available from ticketmaster.ie, as well as all usual ticketmaster outlets.
