The popular indie rock quartet from Denver, The Fray, have been soaring to new heights thanks to a hit single and album that are feeding a frenzy of flocks of new fans.

To the delight of a fast-growing fan base across the pond, the band has announced two concert dates in Ireland and the UK for later this year.

The first show will be October 23rd at the Royal Theatre, Castlebar, England. The following night, the band flies over to Ireland to rock the National Stadium in Dublin.

Tickets are now on sale for both performances. Special guest is none other than Peter Yorn.

The band has already sold a combined total of five million albums and singles in the U.S. just this year. Their hit single, "How To Save A Life" remained on the Billboard top ten charts for four weeks. Many songs are on the album are memorable; one my favorites is "Heaven Forbid".

During that time, The Fray sold an estimated 150,000 units in the UK alone - in one month.

Fans overseas cannot seem to get enough of these guys.

Recent trips to the UK have gained the group even larger exposure, including plenty of airplay on the UK's largest and most influential music radio channel - Radio One.

But now fans will be able to see the band play in a rock arena setting.
