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.

Trending celebrity couple tipped for double Bond duty
Let's face it: Dua Lipa and fiancé Callum Turner are one of the hottest couples right now, and the duo have been tipped for double duty for the next James Bond movie British actor Turner, who's best known for his roles in the Fantastic Beasts franchise as well as the indie film Green Room alongside Sir Patrick Stewart, has seen his odds to be the next 007 shoot up in recent weeks, with Ladbrokes sharing their top five contenders. Having been the 10th favourite to snag the role (at 14/1), the 35-year-old is now sitting as the joint second favourite at 5/1 (alongside Theo James), just behind Aaron Taylor Johnson at 7/4. Jack Lowden, Tom Holland and Harris Dickinson also range from 6/1-8/1 in the bookies. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Pic: Samir Hussein/WireImage Speaking on the shift in popularity, Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: 'A significant number of our punters feel that Callum Turner would make a good Bond, and this latest odds cut suggests that some producers might share their thoughts.' Turner's partner Dua is also looking likely to be contributing to the franchise in her own way, with the 29-year-old singer being tipped to perform the title track for the next instalment. Lipa would follow in the footsteps of Adele, Billie Eilish and Sam Smith, all of whom won Oscars for their Bond tunes. Callum Turner and Dua Lipa Pic: Michael Loccisano/GA/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images Spokesperson for William Hill betting, Lee Phelps, shared: 'Speculation is mounting around the new James Bond film, and we have seen support for couple Dua Lipa and Callum Turner to both be involved in the next movie. 'Dua Lipa has already proven her credentials on the big screen and in the studio, so it's no surprise to see her odds shorten to 15/8 to follow the likes of Adele and Billie Eilish by singing the next iconic Bond theme. 'As a duo, they're now just 12/1 to both feature in the film in these respective roles, which would mark a bold and modern new direction for the franchise.'
