The Wolfe Tones From humble beginnings in Dublin, to the hallowed halls of Carnegie Hall, New York and the Paris Olympia, The Wolfe Tones have enthralled generations of Irish music fans around the globe in their own unique style. Iconic, legendary, often overused superlatives, however they are never more appropriate than when referencing The Wolfe Tones.
In a career spanning from 1964 to 2024, the group reached the summit and that’s where they have remained ever since. They are cherished by the Irish across the world, their music is heard wherever our diaspora gathers, and this will be a homecoming event for many people who will undoubtedly travel from across the world to say they were present at The Wolfe Tones 60th Anniversary Concert. Hear the songs and ballads that helped to create legends in their own lifetimes, from 'Celtic Symphony' to 'Grace', 'Let The People Sing' to 'The Streets of New York', hit after hit.
Having performed on the main stage at the 2024 Electric Picnic, which drew the largest ever recorded crowd and sold out three shows at Dublin's 3Arena plus Belfast's SSE Arena, the demand to see The Wolfe Tones one final time has been nothing short of tremendous. The band will bid The Final Farewell to their fans with this major outdoor concert in what promises to be an unforgettable night in Limerick and their last Irish show.
