The Saw Doctors have announced their first Dublin gig for six years.

The Galway band will play the 3Olympia Theatre on Friday 27 Oct.

After a five year break from touring, the group played a run of "comeback" gigs in the UK last winter, including sell-out shows at the Manchester Apollo and London's Brixton Academy.

The just-announced gig will follow a busy summer for the band, with two Big Top concerts at this year's Galway Arts Festival, a performance at Glastonbury, and sold-out shows in both New York and Boston in July ahead. They'll round out the summer with a gig on home soil at Electric Picnic in Stradbally in September.

The Saw Doctors are powered by original members and songwriters Davy Carton (vocals) and Leo Moran (guitar), and are best known for their hits N17, I Useta Love Her, Red Cortina and To Win Just Once.

Tickets go on sale Friday 26 May at 10am from Ticketmaster.
