fun. for The Academy

Lower-case New York popsters fun. are Dublin-bound on October 6 for a show in the Dublin Academy. Tickets priced €17.35 go on sale on Friday May 11.

The trio scored a number one American single with the Janelle Monaé-assisted ‘We Are Young’ – the first rock/alternative song to manage this feat since Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida’ in 2008.

Although relatively new to punters on this side of the Atlantic, they’ve built up a huge fanbase courtesy of 2009’s Aim And Ignite and this year’s Some Nights albums.
