All-female sister trio Haim will be playing Whelan’s, Dublin on May 25th. Sure to sell out in advance or more likely when tickets go on sale on Wednesday at €15 plus fees from Ticketmaster. The band’s Falling EP is out at the end of the month. I caught them at SXSW last year and they’ll be in Austin once more this year in a few weeks.
The other big gig announcement today was for Blur.

I wonder what the odds are of a second date/larger venue?
Will more likely be a festival after this I’d say. Probably in the contract already!
