Nelly announces Irish tour with gigs in Dublin, Limerick and Galway next month

The rapper is coming to Ireland for three dates in November.

Rap superstar Nelly, famous for hits such as ‘Hot in Herre’ and ‘Work It’ amongst others, has announced dates in Dublin, Limerick and Galway as part of a mini Irish tour next month. The man also known as Cornell Iral Haynes Jr. will perform at The Big Top in Limerick on Wednesday, 14 November, followed by gigs in Leisure Land in Galway on 15 November and The Wright Venue in Dublin on 16 November. Nelly is ranked by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as the fourth best-selling rap artist in American music history, having sold over 21 million albums in the US alone. Last month, according to TMZ, Nelly came to a mutual settlement with a woman who claimed that the rapper had raped her on a tour bus in Seattle last October. Tickets for the Irish gigs went on sale this morning (Friday, 5 October) at 9am on www.nelly.net.
