Sinéad O’Connor will debut her new album Home at the Manchester International Festival from 1-3 July at the Pavillion Theatre.

O'Connor, who will doing some acoustic shows in Europe in May and June, has been working on the album in London and New York in recent months. The Irish singer has been working with Marco Pirroni and John Reynolds on the album which is described as "a guitar based electric album . . .with songs about love".

The 44-year-old rose to fame in the late 1980s with her debut album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success in 1990 with a cover of the song Nothing Compares 2 U.

She has provoked controversy with her ordination as a priest and strong views on organised religion, women's rights, war, and child abuse. Her last album was 2007's Theology.
