DUTCH superstar Ferry Corsten is returning to Ireland as he plays two cities in one night on Friday, January 30.
The Radio Crash DJ/producer plays Love Fridays at the Beach Club, Belfast, from 10pm to 11.30pm before flying on to the Tivoli Theatre, Dublin, where he plays from 1am to close, meaning the majestic spinner takes in both capitals on the same night!

This sensational double header is part of Corsten's Twice In A Blue Moon album promotion and promises to be one of the most magical dates on his calendar.

Corsten has been at the forefront of electronic music since his breakthrough single, Out of the Blue, (under his System F guise) exploded in to the UK Top 20 singles chart and won him critical acclaim and worldwide fame.

Since then he has went on to become one of the biggest selling and widely respected DJ/producers in the world with three artist albums and an abundance of mix albums and chart topping singles including Cry, Rock Your Body Rock, Punk and Watch Out under his belt.

Twice In A Blue Moon was released at the tail end of 2008 and is being described by many within the industry as a more "emotional" album than his previous electronic-heavy L.E.F.

Tracks like Radio Crash, Made of Love, Gabriella's Sky and Visions of Blue have won genre-wide support from the world's biggest DJs including Tiesto, Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren and critics have been quick to praise Corsten's return to his original trance sound.

The past 12 months also saw Corsten headline Planetlove's massive 10th anniversary festival at Shane's Castle in September, packing out the Love Arena and sending the crowd crazy in what was perhaps his best ever Irish performance.

He was later voted Number 6 in DJ Mag's Top 100 DJ poll and his annual Masquerade event, Full on Ferry, sold out to 12,000 adoring fans in the Ahoy Arena in his home town of Rotterdam.

Corsten's record labels Flashover Recordings, Aleph, Boom tssjak and Levare continue to go from strength to strength and his XM radio show, Corsten's Countdown, is broadcast across the planet to millions of listeners via digital radio every week.

Now this global icon of electronic music returns to the Emerald Isle for what promises to be a truly memorable night as he spearheads the celebrations in both Belfast and Dublin.

Corsten is joined by the Netherland's and trance's fastest rising star, Menno de Jong, at Love Fridays.

Tickets, priced at £12, are payable at the door and support comes from Planetlove resident DJ Mog.

Ireland's very own boy wonder John O'Callaghan joins Corsten at the Tivoli Theatre with advanced tickets priced at €27.50 (plus booking fee) available from www.ticketmaster.ie

A number of tickets will also be available at the door on the night though advanced tickets are advised.
