Ever felt the urge to release your inhibitions and feel the rain on your skin? You're in luck as Natasha Bedingfield is playing in Dublin this Friday.
Grab your mates, a pair of low-rise jeans, and a chunky belt, and get ready to relive the early noughties glory days as you bop along to her hit songs, including Unwritten, These Words, and Pocketful of Sunshine.
The 43-year-old singer is set to perform in the Iveagh Gardens on Friday, July 18, as part of their summer line-up of gigs, and if you're heading along, here's everything you need to know.
Gig time
Doors at the Iveagh Gardens are set to open at 6.30pm with music kicking off at 8pm. The gig is expected to finish by around 10.30pm, so you can plan your journey home accordingly.
