The Frames have announced they will be playing a special gig in Whelans to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
Glen Hansard will be leading the band to a special one-off show on June 30 before heading off on an American tour – with tickets on sale tomorrow.
A spokesperson for Whelans said: “Since the early 90’s, Whelans has enjoyed some immense Frames performances and watched as the band has grown since the explosion of the single Revelate back in 1995 led to a string of sell out gigs and queue’s around the corner and down the street.
“The Frames have regularly sold out far bigger venues in Dublin but still come back to Whelans for the occasional gig.
“Recently Glen had his birthday party in our front bar where the invitees were treated to a full band performance.
“Glen has also gone onto considerable solo success with his Oscar win with Marketa Irglova for Falling Slowly on the Once soundtrack. The film which also starred the pair, also transferred very successfully to the theatre.”
“So June 30th is bound to be a magical night and another highlight in what is a very special year for Whelans.”
