Wolfe Tones confirm outdoor stadium concert for Limerick GAA grounds this summer

LIMERICK GAA's home ground is to play host to an outdoor concert this summer.

The legendary Wolfe Tones will play a stadium gig in the TUS Gaelic Grounds on the evening of Saturday August 26.

Tickets, priced at €54.90, for the concert headlined by the Ireland's biggest folk group, will go on sale this Friday February 24 at  9am from ticketmaster.ie

Promoters are promising the "stadium will provide the perfect backdrop to the gig of the summer as an all-star supporting line-up, headlined by The Wolfe Tones  take to the stage, with a huge selection of food and drink and lots more".

In what could be their biggest ever outdoor show, The Wolfe Tones & Friends is presented by Gaelic Sounds.

Noel Nagle, Tommy Byrne and Brian Warfield comprise what is arguably the world’s most popular Irish folk group, The Wolfe Tones. 

The group are presently celebrating 58 years on the road. They are currently completing a run of five sold out shows in Dublin's Olympia before departing for a US tour that will take them to Philadelphia and New York.

The Wolfe Tones have recently revamped their stage show to incorporate many ballads from their extensive back catalogue.  With an ever-changing set list, the show is revitalised with material not performed on the concert stage for many years, as well as newly composed ballads taken from their forth coming album release due in November this year.

The TUS Gaelic Grounds concert will be the first at the Ennis Road venue since September 2018 when the stadium hosted the ‘Symphony for our World’ event.

Of course thousands have memorably packed onto the playing surface of the grounds for the 2018 and 2022 homecoming events to mark Limerick's All-Ireland hurling victories when among others Moncrieff, Denise Chaila and Emma Langford entertained the crowds.
