Irish folk-poppers The Cranberries have announced they are reuniting after seven years for a live tour.

The 90s band, featuring guitarist and frontwoman Dolores O’Riordan, are rehearsing for a North American late this year and will be making their way to Europe in early 2010. Dates will be announced shortly.

Most famous for the massive distorted riff of their 1994 hit 'Zombie', the band will be performing a mix of new tracks and greatest hits.

The Cranberries had four top 20 albums, eight hit singles and worldwide sales of over 40 million records before they went on indefinite hiatus in 2002.
