AS HOZIER CONTINUES to sit pretty atop the Irish album chart, the singer has announced an Irish tour at the end of the year.

The Wicklow singer will play dates in Dublin, Cork, Kerry, Mayo and Belfast this December and tickets are on sale at 9AM this Friday.

The shows promise to cap off what has been a pretty impressive year for Hozier. His album is currently the fastest selling album of the year in Ireland and is currently number one on the UK iTunes album chart.

Furthermore, he will perform on Saturday Night Live this weekend, following celebrated appearances on Later with Jools Holland and Late Show with David Letterman earlier this year.

Naturally the news has sent fans into a veritable frenzy.

Most people are just incredibly excited.
