The performance will come just months after the death of the band's co-founder and guitarist Mark Sheehan, who passed away in April aged 46 following a short illness.
Formed in 2001, the band has achieved success around the world, with The Man Who Can't Be Moved, For The First Time and We Cry among their biggest hits.
