The Dubliners Encore – adds third and final Dublin date to their National Tour

The official Dubliners’ stage show celebrates the music, songs, and story of The Dubliners, the greatest folk band of all time. 

Due to phenomenal demand, The Dubliners Encore announces a third and final show in The Helix, Dublin for Wednesday, 29th January 2025. Tickets are available now from www.thedublinersencore.com 

The Dubliners Encore will perform in venues across Ireland this coming January, starting in Cork, Castlebar, Dublin, Derry, Wexford, Limerick and finally Killarney. 

The popularity of The Dubliners is unquestionable, their contribution to the world of folk music unparalleled. True originals, these bearded balladeers put Ireland on the world stage, releasing 30 original albums, selling 40 million records, and playing sold-out tours in a musical odyssey lasting 50 years. John and his late great bandmates Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna and Ciarán Bourke, caught the imagination, playing Irish traditional music in a way never heard before, with an attitude never seen before. They revolutionised Irish music, taking it from the parlour and the pub to the world stage, leaving a legacy that helped transform Ireland and Irish music forever. 

A member of the band for 50 years, John has been working behind the scenes to create a show that authentically brings The Dubliners’ story to life on stage, personally overseeing every detail, every anecdote, and every musical note. After a two-year nationwide search, five incredible musicians were handpicked to recreate the spirit, energy, and musical talent of each original band member. Featuring their biggest hits and best-loved songs, The Dubliners Encore recaptures the band performing in their heyday, packing 50 years of songs, stories, and craic into one unforgettable night.  

The Dubliners Encore serves as a deeply personal tribute to John’s bandmates; an homage to his musical brothers that he shared the stage with for half a century. Speaking at the launch of The Dubliners Encore John said, ‘As the last Dubliner standing, I wanted to create a show full of integrity inviting the audience to experience the magic of a Dubliners’ concert. This show is a tribute to my bandmates, to the music we created together and all the craic we had along the way.’ 

The Dubliners Encore is directed and produced by award-winning industry creatives Phil Coulter, Ceoladh Sheahan, and Maurice Sweeney. Phil produced six of The Dubliners’ original albums, as well as writing some of their biggest hits. He now returns to the fold as the show’s Musical Director. John has said of Phil’s involvement, ‘There is no-one more qualified to steer this one-of-a-kind Dubliners experience. Phil has been part of the Dubliners’ family for decades, and he brings his immense creativity, musicianship, passion, and experience to the role of Musical Director.’
