The festival season is upon us, and in the spirit of that, Bill has lined up 3 festival appearances over the next couple of months.

Firstly, the big one. If you managed to get tickets for Glastonbury, then you will no doubt be delighted to know that Bill will also be there this year - so make sure you get yourself over to the Dance Stage in the Glebe Land Theatre Field on the 24th of June, where he will be performing.

And if you're attending the Beautiful Days festival in Devon this August, you'll be glad to hear that Bill will be appearing on Sunday the 19th, so be sure not to miss that.

But if you haven't got tickets for either of these, then don't worry, Bill will also be at Suffolk's Latitude Festival on the 13th of July, for which some tickets are still available. These may not be on sale for much longer, so grab them while you still can at the festival's website.

Finally, fans in Ireland can rejoice, as your pleas were not ignored and Bill has confirmed two Irish dates for later this year. In fact, you will be ahead of the game, as Bill is actually previewing Tinselworm for you, shortly before he tours the rest of Britain.

The first of these dates is at the Whitla Hall in Belfast, on the 31st of October. Tickets will cost £22.50.

Next, Bill will be at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin on the 2nd of November. Tickets here are priced between €36.60 and €38.60.

Tickets for both dates go on general sale on Thursday 14th June, but here's the really important part:

There will be a fan pre-sale on Monday 11th June, and if you're registered for the newsletter you will receive special booking information, giving you exclusive access to the pre-sale and access to all of the best seats in the house.
