**TICKETS ON SALE THIS FRIDAY 26 OCTOBER**

PRIMAL SCREAM have confirmed they will play a number of Irish dates this October, with a Dublin date at the Olympia Theatre on Sunday 27th October. Tickets from €34 including booking fee go on sale from Ticketmaster outlets and www.ticketmaster.ie this Friday at 9am. The band return to play a number of more intimate shows, following their masterpiece Screamadelica Tour which they brought to the O2, Dublin in 2011.

Primal Scream released their new album ‘More Light’, earlier this year in May on own First International label through Ignition Records. ‘More Light’, the tenth studio album from Primal Scream, was recorded in London and Los Angeles during 2012 and was produced by David Holmes. The album is another twist in the band’s history, recorded after their recent successful worldwide tour of their hit album ‘Screamadelica’. Like ‘Screamadelica’, ‘More Light’ presents a musical state that lacks boundaries.

Guest artists on ‘More Light’ include Robert Plant, Mark Stewart of The Pop Group and Mafia and Davey Henderson formerly of The Fire Engines and now Sexual Objects. With former bassist Mani now back with the reformed Stone Roses most of the bass on the album has been played by Jason Faulkner an LA based musician who has worked with David Holmes before and with a variety of acts including Beck and Air.
