Newton Faulkner will bring his Greatest Hits tour to The Academy next May.

Faulkner’s 31 track double album ‘The Very Best Of Newton Faulkner…So Far’ will be released in March 2019 including fan favourites such as ‘Dream Catch Me’, ‘Write It On Your Skin’ and ‘Clouds’ as well as three brand new songs. In addition, Newton’s renowned cover versions will be presented on a second disc including newly recorded live versions of iconic songs Bohemian Rhapsody and Send Me On My Way.

“The Best Of feels like a real milestone, I’m so proud of it as a body of work and the second disc was so much fun to make. I love the challenge of covering songs, which probably is reflected in my song choices. For people that have seen me live before, there are some old favourites and there’s also some tracks no one has ever heard me do”.

Until then Faulkner is set to release Christmas song Wish I Could Wake Up, “This song’s about wanting to wake up next to someone special at Christmas, and how that person can make any day, Christmas or not, seem so much better just by being there.”

Newton Faulkner Live at The Academy, Thursday May 2^nd. Tickets €30 Inc. booking fee on sale Friday December 14^th at 9am from Ticketmaster.
