They are without a doubt one of the most popular Irish bands so it's really no surprise that Whelan's have invited the Frames to play a special gig for their 25th anniversary. Glen Hansard and his crew will be playing a once-off special gig in the pub on Wexford Street before he heads off on his American tour on Monday 30th June. Whelan's announced the gig saying "since the early 90’s, Whelans has enjoyed some immense Frames performances and watched as the band has grown since the explosion of the single Revelate back in 1995 led to a string of sell out gigs and queue’s around the corner and down the street. The Frames have regularly sold out far bigger venues in Dublin but still come back to Whelans for the occasional gig. "Recently Glen had his birthday party in our front bar where the invitees were treated to a full band performance. Glen has also gone onto considerable solo success with his Oscar win with Marketa Irglova for Falling Slowly on the Once soundtrack. The film which also starred the pair, also transferred very successfully to the theatre." "So June 30th is bound to be a magical night and another highlight in what is a very special year for Whelans." We KNOW it's going to be a special night for Whelan's! Tickets are on sale tomorrow, June 24th, at 2pm on the Whelan's site and are priced at €20. Hat tip to Golden Plec for this one. Image via Trip Advisor.
