Following the release of his acclaimed new album, Hearts That Strain, Jake Bugg has announced a UK and Ireland acoustic tour for 2018.

The singer-songwriter will kick off the 16-date tour with an intimate headline show at Whelan's on Thursday, February 15, before making his way up to Belfast (Saturday 17), and across the UK.

Recorded in Nashville and produced by the Grammy Award winning David Ferguson and Matt Sweeney, Hearts That Strain has received glowing reviews since its August release.

In their four star review The Times said Jake “sounds better than ever,” while The Guardian dubbed the young star “Glenn Campbell re-incarnated.”

Tickets for the Dublin show are €27.90 and go on sale this Friday, September 29, at 9am.
