Van Morrison has said he is "extremely excited" to announce three outdoor shows in Belfast, Cork and Dublin this summer.

After his previous sold out shows at both venues, the iconic music star will return to Live At Botanic Gardens on Sunday 26 May, followed by Live At The Marquee in Cork on Friday, 31 May.

The 78-year-old Grammy Award winner will take to the stage for the first time at Dublin's Iveagh Gardens on Thursday, 4 July.

Tickets for these three summer performances go on sale on Thursday, 29 February at 9am.

The legendary Northern Irish singer-songwriter, who is widely considered one of the most influential artists of all time, will perform tracks from his latest albums Accentuate The Positive and Moving On Skiffle.

Morrison's career has spanned seven decades after coming to prominence in the late 1960's in the Belfast band Them, known for their hit Gloria.

His solo career kicked off with the release of the hit single Brown Eyed Girl in 1967. Although it initially had poor sales, his second studio album Astral Weeks, released in 1968, has come to be considered one of the greatest albums ever released. Moondance followed in 1970 and cemented his status as a major artist.
