Little Mix star Jade announces Dublin gig at 3Olympia this year
It will come just weeks after the release of her hugely anticipated debut solo album, That's Showbiz Baby!, which is set to feature collaborations with RAYE, Lostboy and others.
Tickets for her Dublin gig are set to go on sale Friday 23 May at 10am from Ticketmaster, with tickets priced from €37.65.
"This album has been years in the making, so I'm beyond excited that I can finally let everyone know when it's coming out,' the singer said.
"I'm very proud of That's Showbiz Baby! as a body of work and can't wait to share it with the world. To be able to perform the album live later this year is also a dream come true. See you all on tour!"
She was placed into girl group Little Mix after she auditioned for The X Factor in 2011, joining Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson, with the group going on to become the first and only girl group to ever win the UK series.
The group went on hiatus in December 2021 following a hugely successful career with multiple chart-topping hits like 'Wings' and 'Shout Out to My Ex'.
Jade Thirwall, who shortened her stage name to 'Jade' upon launching her solo career, won the BRIT Award for best pop act this year and performed her hit song 'Angel of My Dreams', which samples Sandie Shaw's Eurovision winning song 'Puppet on a String'.
The song was named a top ten song of last year by The Guardian, DORK, Clash and NME and has accumulated over 100 million streams to date.
The music video has been streamed 12 million times on YouTube, while her performance of the song at the BRIT Awards has been watched over two million times.
She is set to perform at a variety of festivals this summer including Glastonbury, All Points East, Mighty Hoopla, TRNSMT and the Montreux Jazz festival in Switzerland.
