It has been a long time coming for many of their fans, but Daryl Hall and John Oates are finally set to return to Europe as they play The Olympia Theatre on 15 July 2014. Dublin’s Olympia Theatre is the only current date announced, but it is expected that a major European Tour will follow this year.
The legendary duo have had many hits throughout their illustrious career, and have been described as “must see” for music fans, with hits like ‘Sara Smile’, ‘You Make My Dreams’ and ‘She’s Gone’ to name a few. Hall and Oates have been the foundation for many, with an artistic fan base that includes Rob Thomas, John Mayer, Brandon Flowers (The Killers), Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) and Gym Class Heroes who dubbed their tour “Daryl Hall for President Tour 2007.” One of the most sampled artists today, their impact can be heard everywhere from boy band harmonies, to neo-soul to rap-rock fusion.
Signed to Atlantic by Ahmet Ertegan in the 1970’s, Daryl Hall & John Oates have sold more albums than any other duo in music history. Their 1973 debut album, Abandoned Luncheonette, produced by Arif Mardin, yielded the Top 10 single, “She’s Gone,” which also went to #1 on the R&B charts when it was covered by Taveras. The duo recorded one more album with Atlantic, War Babies, (produced by Todd Rundgren) before they left and promptly signed to RCA. Their tenure at RCA would catapult the duo to international superstardom.
Tickets from €33.50 including booking fee go on sale this Friday 17 January at 9am and will be available to purchase from Ticketmaster.ie, 100 Ticketmaster outlets nationwide & The Olympia Box Office.
