Merry Chris-tmas! Moncrieff has announced two extra homecoming shows at the newly opened, class-leading Kelly’s Room at The Haven, Dunmore East, after his first three dates sold out in record time. Revealed this morning across his socials and local station WLR FM, the Waterford star will now play December 13th and 14th, adding to the previously sold-out run on the 9th, 10th and 11th.
Tickets for the new dates go on sale this Friday, priced at €40, with The Haven also providing free buses back to Waterford city after each show. Given how quickly the first run disappeared, fans are being warned to act fast if they want to be part of what’s shaping up to be a landmark week in Moncrieff’s career.
Speaking about the five-night run, The Haven said: “After selling out his three homecoming dates at The Haven in a matter of hours last week, Moncrieff has today added two final dates to the run on Sat 13 and Sun 14 December. For this extraordinary run of homecoming shows, The Haven will be completely transformed into an immersive celebration of Moncrieff’s roots. Expect relics and symbols of Waterford life – from photos of his first ever gig in Sal’s on the Quay to jerseys from his hurling days with De La Salle and Butlerstown.”
Adding to the excitement, Moncrieff will be professionally recording the audio from these concerts for a forthcoming live release of Maybe It’s Fine. That means fans who secure tickets won’t just be part of an unforgettable live experience, but of a historic moment in the artist’s journey.
It’s looking like December in Dunmore East is set to be a homecoming like no other.
