They follow UK tour dates, where he is due to perform at London’s O2 Arena on August 6 and 7.
The rapper still faces multiple lawsuits following the Astroworld music festival tragedy in Texas last November.
Ten people died during his headline set and thousands more were injured as fans surged toward the stage.
ROCKER Adam Duritz has revealed his pianist was “nearly killed” by his wife over a massive credit card bill for what she thought was a brothel.
The Counting Crows frontman said the group had spent several “drunken nights” in nightspot Lillie’s Bordello on Grafton Street during a visit to Ireland.
He recalled: “One of my favourite memories of it was we had a long night there after playing Slane one year.
“Our piano player ended up paying on his credit card and when we got home, the bill came and his wife nearly killed him because she saw this huge bill from some place called Lillie’s Bordello.
“She thought he had been whorehouse.
“Imagine if your husband came home and there was a thousand dollar bill from a bordello.”
The group, known for hits such as Accidentally in a
In Love, Mr Jones, Colorblind and A Long December, play Dublin’s 3Arena on October 18.
Duritz (58) said: “I played it when it was the Point I don’t know how many times.
“Our tour manager is from Cork and he’s been with us since 1994. Ireland is like a second home.
“The very first time we went there, we were surrounded by friends and family.
“Even when we weren’t big, even the people who came to see us were so passionate about us. Anywhere we were in Ireland, it was always so amazing.
“European tours are kind of the thing that makes it magic. You can always imagine playing a gig in your hometown or around America.
“But the idea that your music might travel to foreign lands... that’s the thing that makes it really like, I’m a rock star.”
