IRISH music sensation Hozier has announced a date at the Gleneagle INEC Arena, Killarney for June 27 this year.

Joining Hozier as special guest is Allison Russell. ‘Eat Your Young’ the much anticipated new EP from Hozier, was released last Friday. Tickets priced from €49.90 inclusive go on sale at 9am on Thursday, March 30 at 9am via Ticketmaster.ie

Hozier is a Grammy-nominated, award-winning multi-platinum singer and songwriter.  Driven by the quintuple-platinum anthem, “Take Me To Church,” ranked the 30th most listened to song on Spotify, the track is the 103rd song to ever achieve the rare milestone of Diamond certification and the highest certified solo Alternative single in RIAA history.

‘Take Me To Church’ has surpassed 2 billion streams, the only Irish artist to achieve this feat. His self-titled full-length debut bowed at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 (the second biggest debut album of the year) and went on to achieve triple RIAA Platinum status.

It enjoyed nine weeks at number 1 in his native Ireland (including spending an incredible 442 weeks in the Irish Top 50 charts). Indeed the album rose to no. 3 in the UK ahead of his third sell-out UK tour.

The much anticipated follow up to Hozier’s debut album, “Wasteland, Baby!” was released to massive critical acclaim in March 2019, entering the US Billboard Top 200 Chart at #1.

As Hozier prepares to release his third album “Unreal Unearth” in 2023, his 3-track EP “Eat Your Young” was released on March 17, in honour of his birthday and St. Patrick’s Day.

VIDEO: Gary Funks Up Hozier And Goes Viral Again

TRALEE musician, Gary Keane, has produced a cover version of Hozier’s, ‘Take me to Church’ as part of the cork based neo-soul duo White Boys and it’s getting a lot of attention (see video below).

Gary and his partner in funk, Eoin Walsh, who is from Cork, have knocked out another hip-hop enthused retro track that has garnered attention online.

The cover which was released to the public through the White Boys numerous social media accounts on Monday is almost unrecognisable to the original, something, Gary Keane tells us, was fully intended.

“We’re doing music that is a lot closer to my heart, we wanted to totally throw the Hozier track upside down just to see how people would react to it and it’s going really well so far,” said Gary.

Last month, their ‘Family Values’ video which lampooned an anti-gay marriage rant on the Vincent Browne Live Debate show was picked up by national media and the international online gay community.

“That got a class response, I couldn’t believe that! It was good, because that put our name in the mind of a lot of press,” said Gary.

All this promotion is leading up in anticipation of the act’s debut single release ‘Stylin’ at the end of June. Quite appropriately they’re launching ‘Stylin’ at the after party of Chic’s ‘Live at the Marquee’ show in Cork.

Perhaps legend of disco and Chic founder, Nile Rodgers, will be there to give his blessing…

Tralee audiences will have a chance to catch White Boys, they’re playing in the Abbey Inn on dates, May 30, June 20 and July 4. Free admission.
