Promoters Split Works have confirmed that Damien Rice will be playing an extra show in Shanghai after tickets for his initial concert in the city sold out in just 45 minutes. Rice will now be doing an afternoon show on the same day as the original evening gig in the main room at the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Hall as part of Split Works and the SSO's Contemporale series.
Tickets will be on sale through Gewara, Oriental Tickets and at the venue from 9am this Saturday (23 April), but you can also reserve tickets right now. Here's how (the text below is taken from Split Works directly):

RSVPs are NOW OPEN, and close at 4pm on April 20. Remember that kids under 1.2m are not allowed entry to the SSO hall.
