Jedward's Forum gig

X Factor finalists, Jedward, will perform on Saturday 10th April whilst Irish clerics, The Priests, take to the stage on Tuesday 15th June. Chief Executive, David McLaughlin, said: "I am thrilled that both Jedward and The Priests have confirmed their dates at our venue.

"Both acts are two of the hottest properties on the current music scene and I am delighted to welcome them to our stage for what promises to be two very different performances but most definitely, two nights to remember!

"It is always our aim to bring acts that cater for a wide range of audiences, so I'm sure that young and old will be lining up to book seats for both shows.

"Our forthcoming May-August season is already shaping up to be quite an eclectic mix with something for everyone guaranteed."

Dublin twins, John and Edward Grimes (aka 'Jedward') burst onto our screens last year as finalists of the hit TV show, The X Factor.

Fresh from the release of their first single, 'Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)', which featured Vanilla Ice, the duo arrives at the Forum as part of a national tour.

Known for their distinctive blonde quiffs, their energetic and fun style will most certainly appeal to the city's younger music fans and will surely bring the theatre alive with excitement for their one and only date.

Singing clerics, The Priests, are an overnight sensation that has been over thirty years in the making!

Hailing from Northern Ireland, Fathers Eugene O'Hagan, Martin O'Hagan and David Delargy have already sold over two million albums and appeared on TV shows including the Jonathan Ross Show and the News at Ten with Sir Trevor MacDonald alongside artists such as Tom Jones and The Killers.

Their rise to global stardom has been documented across the world. Join The Priests for a magical evening of song including Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Amazing Grace and You'll Never Walk Alone.

Special Guest on the night is Camilla Kerslake, who was recently discovered by Take That's Gary Barlow and whose haunting rendition of Rule The World captured the attention of music critics worldwide.
