GLOBAL chart sensation Hozier has announced a new UK tour including a date at St David’s Hall on Friday, February 5, 2016.

Over the last two years, Hozier has enjoyed a meteoric rise to worldwide fame thanks to his smash-hit single Take Me To Church, which subsequently secured the Irish singer-songwriter a prestigious Ivor Novello. The song also won the Teen Choice Award for Best Rock Song, whilst he was nominated at the BRITS, Grammys and MTV Music Europe Awards.

Furthermore, Hozier swept away this year’s Billboard Music Awards with prizes for Top Rock Artist and Top Rock Song, whilst landing the Best Album gong at the European Border Breakers Award for his breathtaking self-titled double Platinum debut.

Given the scale of his music, it’s astonishing that Andrew Hozier-Byrne recorded the album in the attic bedroom of his parents’ home in Bray, County Wicklow. Since headlining the 100-capacity Troubador in Earl’s Court in January 2014, he’s performed everywhere from Saturday Night Live and the Victoria’s Secret fashion show to a staggering duet with Annie Lennox at the Grammys.

The 25-year-old has conquered the summer circuit too with rapturously received sets at Glastonbury, Longitude and V Festival amongst others.

Tickets cost from £22.50 to £29.50 (plus a £2.95 ticket service charge per transaction).
