The Cranberries are set to regroup and tour the festival circuit this summer according to founding member, Noel Hogan. 

The guitarist and songwriter for the band took to Twitter to announce that the popular Limerick group will be doing "a few shows" this summer and we can't wait to hear which Irish festivals make the cut. 

The band, best known for their songs Zombie and Linger, have only yet announced one of the upcoming shows, which is at the Festi’neuch festival in Neuchatel, Switzerland on June 9. 

The band has not performed live together since the release of their 2009 album Roses, the bands first new material since 2001. 

We have our fingers crossed for an Electric Picnic headline spot. 

The regrouping comes just two years after lead singer Dolores O' Riordan initiated High Court proceedings against songwriter Noel Hogan. 

Though there is no reports over what the action was about, the proceedings were eventually struck out. 

Dolores is also facing four charges which include assault after she was arrested last year. In November 2014 she was arrested in Shannon Airport following a flight from New York.

Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan, 43, has been receiving “on going” medical treatment and is said by her solicitor to be too ill to attend her court date.

She is facing four charges which include assault after she was arrested last year. In November 2014 she was arrested in Shannon Airport following a flight from New York.

She is also being charged with one offence of wilful obstruction of a Garda.

The Independent reported that concerns had been raised for Dolores when she was taken into custody and was then “engaged in a chorus of singing and shouting from her jail cell.”

Her solicitor Bill O’Donnell told Ennis District Court that she has been receiving residential medical treatment and would be able to make an appearance.

He asked for the case to be adjourned for three months and added that Dolores would “benefit” from the delay. He said:

“My client is presently receiving ongoing medical treatment and presently she's receiving residential treatment, hence her absence from court.”

Judge Patrick Durcan has agreed to the adjournment and adding that if someone is need of medical treatment he believes the court “should facilitate that.”

Shortly after the incident, it was revealed that the mother of three was in the middle of separating from her husband of 20 years Don Burton.

Her mother Eileen explained:

“She is going through a marriage separation at the moment; that’s hard for anyone.”

She also added that she was concerned for her daughter’s health at the time, adding that she had hoped her daughter would return from New York in good health.

“She wouldn’t have the support there. She is suffering from lack of sleep over the weeks and her brain is racing all the time. She is working very hard. When she was in New York she kept saying ‘when I go home to my mother in Ireland, I will be fine.”
