Arctic Monkeys Confirm Irish Dates

Arctic Monkeys are set to play two Irish concerts in November.

The Sheffield band, who scored the fastest-selling debut album in history with Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, will play the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on November 25 and the O2 in Dublin on November 26.

Arctic Monkeys released their third album, Humbug, last month. The album, which features ten brand new songs, was produced by Josh Homme in the Mojave Desert and Los Angeles and James Ford in Brooklyn.

Support at both concerts comes from Josh Homme's Eagles of Death Metal.

Tickets, priced from £32.50 for the Belfast show and from €42.20 for the Dublin show, go on sale on September 11 at 9am. Standing tickets are restricted to over 16s only, while under-14s must purchase seated tickets and be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
