The Dubliners Encore: A Monumental Celebration of Ireland’s Folk Legends – Live Across Ireland, April 2026
Following sold-out performances across Europe and Ireland, The Dubliners Encore return in 2026 for a nationwide celebration of the music, humour, and storytelling that made The Dubliners a folk legend. Created and produced by John & Ceoladh Sheahan, with Musical Director Phil Coulter, this official stage show brings the band’s story to life with heart, authenticity, and unforgettable performances.
From Waterford to Killarney, the handpicked cast of world-class musicians will capture the spirit and sound of Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna, Ciarán Bourke, and John Sheahan — blending iconic songs, rare film footage, and powerful storytelling, narrated by Imelda May.
“Classy, emotive, informative… an impressive night of music, film, and stories.” — Imelda May
“Nostalgic, nourishing, funny, and spiritual… there was magic I couldn’t quite put my finger on.” — Declan O’Rourke
