The Coronas add third Christmas Olympia show

Due to demand, the Dubliners have added a third appearance to their upcoming December stint

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 21 Sep 2010

Pop rock act The Coronas have announced a third date to their Christmas shows at Dublin's Olympia Theatre.

The band, whose latest album Tony Was An Ex-Con was at the top of the Irish Indie chart up until last week, were originally scheduled to play two dates - December 9 & 10. Now, due to demand, the four-piece have added another date - December 13. Tickets for this all ages show go on sale this Friday, September 24 at 9am.

It's been a busy twelve months for the band - their shows last December also sold out, resulting in the group adding three Academy gigs in January to cope with the demand. They went on to win a Best Irish Album award at this year's Meteor Awards.

So what is it that makes the band tick? In a remarklably revealing interview, Ireland’s most down-to-earth frontman Danny O’Reilly tells Roe McDermott about the making of The Coronas’ masterpiece, why he’d never go solo, working with his mammy – and how a certain blonde beauty has stolen his heart.
