BRIT Award-winning, multi-platinum-selling musician George Ezra today announced an extra Irish show due to phenomenal demand for June 8th 2023, at 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin.
This show is on the back of the sell-out success of his sold-out 3Arena, INEC and SSE Arena shows and supports his new album Gold Rush Kid, which was released in June of last year.
Tickets €58.85 including booking fees on sale Friday 19th May at 9AM
After two blockbuster albums – Wanted On Voyage (2014) and Staying At Tamara’s (2018), both of which reached number 1 in the UK and sold millions around the world, and the latter of which earned him his first number 1 single in ‘Shotgun’ and won him the 2019 Brit Award for British Male Solo Artist – it was time to return to heart and hearth, with an album written and produced entirely in London with longstanding collaborator Joel Pott.
Alongside the tour announcement, George has partnered with YouTube Music to be their Sustainability Partner for 2022.
He says: “I am conscious that creating, touring and promoting a record has an impact on the environment, so I am delighted to announce I will be working with YouTube Music as their Sustainability Partner for 2022. They have very generously provided a significant financial contribution to support a cause of my choosing; this is going to be The National Trust, who are working hard to reverse the decline in nature and reduce the impact of climate change by planting trees and restoring landscapes. Together, we’ll directly use this money to plant 17,000 trees across the UK.”
The National Trust has committed to planting or establishing 20 million trees covering an area the size of Birmingham as part of their plan to become net zero by 2030.
The carbon benefits from the 17,000 trees will go towards the charity’s own net zero ambitions.
National Trust Director General Hilary McGrady said: “We are enormously grateful to George for this donation, and it serves as an important reminder that only by a collective will and everyone playing their part will we help reverse some of the impacts of climate change and help the nation to reach net zero.
“This gift represents an important step as part of our ambition to try and tackle the effects of climate change. We are planting the trees in the right places to maximise the impact they will have in locking in carbon.”
