Music and fashion legend Grace Jones is set to play a one off gig at Dublin's Olympia Theatre next month.

As well as promising to be a great night out, the gig on September 21 is being filmed as part of an upcoming documentary about the 68-year-old Jamaican who was a massive star in the 1980s.

Irish production company Blinder Films and Sligoville are making a documentary about her called Grace Jones - The Musical Of My Life which is due for release next year. The project has been on the go for over ten years and is being directed by Sophie Fiennes, the sister of actors Ralph and Joseph.

Jones' hits include Pull Up to the Bumper, I've Seen That Face Before, Private Life, Slave to the Rhythm and I'm Not Perfect, while her most popular albums include Warm Leatherette (1980), Nightclubbing (1981), and Slave to the Rhythm (1985).

Tickets go on sale on this Friday August 5 at 9am from Ticketmaster and usual outlets including The Olympia Theatre Box Office.
