Faithless announce Irish gigs this summer in tribute to late frontman Maxi Jazz
The British artist, whose real name was Maxwell Fraser, died at the age of 65 "peacefully in his sleep" in 2022.
Former bandmates Sister Bliss and Rollo have now decided to go back on the road and the pair will make their debut in Limerick on Friday, June 6 with an intimate show at Troy Studios.
It's part of a two-night tour called 'Ireland Underground' with a show in Derry on Saturday, June 7.
Sister Bliss said: "We cannot wait to come and play for you in Ireland, these are up close and personal warehouse shows and we will see you up at the front!"
While this is the first Faithless show in Limerick, they have strong Limerick links, with Rollo having spent his childhood summers visiting his Limerick cousins and the musical force that is Sister Bliss having played a legendary DJ set at the long-departed Docs nightclub in the 2000s.
The first release of the tickets were an instant sell-out and now a second round of tickets has been released at https://www.bside.show/faithless.
Sister Bliss and Rollo have risen to the challenge of touring without iconic front man Maxi, collaborating with show designer Jvan Morand, bringing Faithless back to its roots in an uplifting celebration of their music and a heartfelt tribute to Maxi Jazz.

Major shake up at Jeremy Clarkson's Farmer's Dog pub as Amazon star makes big announcement
JEREMY Clarkson has revealed a major shake-up at his Oxfordshire pub, The Farmer's Dog. The Grand Tour star and his trusted team have been entertaining both fans and locals at the £1million establishment after it opened last year. 3 Jeremy Clarkson's pub has shared a major new update Credit: PA 3 The star will be closing The Farmer's Dog on Mondays in order to give his staff a break Credit: Instagram / @thefarmersdogpub The pub's opening was chronicled on his Prime Video series, Clarkson's Farm, and has since become a huge success alongside his Diddly Squat Farm shop. However, the TV host has now confirmed a shake-up is set to hit the boozer as he revealed that changes at the business were afoot. In a new move, the pub will now be closed on Mondays and no longer serving customers. Confirming the decision to close up at the start of the week, Jezza's pub's Instagram account shared: "We are giving our team Mondays to spend some well-deserved time recharging - we will be open Tuesday to Sunday in both the pub and the Grand Tour tent." Read More on Jeremy Clarkson Alongside the announcement was a team photo of the workers helping to provide the impeccable service that fans have come to know and love at the establishment. One fan shared a memory of visiting the pub in the comments, writing: "Having visited the pub and people watched while sipping a Hawestone, this is a super resilient and hard working team…it looks relentless, all day everyday." Jeremy's main reason behind opening the pub was that he wanted everything to come from British farms within a certain radius, so don't expect to see any Heinz ketchup on offer. Instead, visitors to the pub can treat themselves to the steak pie, ham hock terrine, rhubarb crumble, and a wide range of other menu items, all knowing that it has come from local farmers. Most read in News TV Since the pub opened, it has been extremely busy, and after the show aired, its popularity has soared. Clarkson bought the pub — previously called The Windmill — in 2023 after offering the owner £1million for it minutes after meeting her. I don't want folk going veggie due to farming crisis, rages Jeremy Clarkson - so my pub will serve pig uterus & squirrel It is close to Clarkson's Farm series guide By Conor O'Brien, TV Reporter Clarkson's Farm airs on Prime Video and follows TV personality Jeremy Clarkson as he manages his Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds. Three series have been released to date and here is an overview of what has happened so far. Series 1 Jeremy takes over the day-to-day running of the newly renamed Diddly Squat Farm. Jeremy starts to assemble what he needs for his farm - as well as laying the groundwork for things to come later. He buys key equipment including a tractor and cultivator, as well as taking on sheep and opening a farm shop. Jeremy takes over the day-to-day running of the newly renamed Diddly Squat Farm. Series 2 This series sees Jeremy look for ways to increase the farm's revenue. One such example is bringing in a herd of cows although this isn't without its issues. Jeremy also had the idea to convert the abandoned lambing barn into a restaurant where he could sell his meat from the farm. For this plan to move forward, he had to get planning permission from the local council. Viewers also meet Pepper, a heifer among the herd who ultimately becomes the star's favourite. Series 3 The third series contained some of the show's most emotional moments to date. In heartbreaking scenes, dozens of newborn piglets died as a result of overlaying - their mother rolling on to them. Jeremy said goodbye to his favourite pig - the Baroness - after she developed cancer and needed to be put down. Dry stonewall expert and "head of security" Gerald Cooper was diagnosed with cancer. Jeremy and Kaleb began a competition between themselves - with Kaleb looking after the arable side and Jeremy taking the non-arable elements. Fellow farmers - and famous faces - Andy Cato and George Lamb appear in this series 3 The pub has become a roaring success Credit: Adrian Sherratt
