Gary’s Time to Shine: Barlow Set for Solo Irish Gigs

Showing the X Factor contestants how it’s done, perhaps?

Take That singer and reality TV judge Gary Barlow has announced two Irish gigs this January.

Barlow will play The Olympia in Dublin and Belfast’s Waterfront on January 7^th and 8^th respectively as part of a full solo UK and Ireland tour kicking off next month in Bournemouth.

On the announcement Gary said: “I’m really excited about these dates. Playing live is my favourite thing and I haven't played a solo show for over a year now. Last year playing two London shows was brilliant, we all had such a good time, so I thought right let's get out and see the rest of the country!” 

Twenty years in the music business, over 50 million records sold, eight No.1 albums, fourteen No.1 singles, seven million concert tickets sold and six Ivor Novello Awards… Gary Barlow looks set to put on quite the show! The concert is billed as ‘Gary Barlow  - In Concert Plus Special Guests’, but no word on who the special guests will be just yet.

Tickets go on sale from www.ticketmaster.ie this Friday at 10am.

And to get you in the mood... Here's the man himself (with a possible special guest?)!
