The Dubliners Encore announce Irish tour

Created and produced by John and Ceoladh Sheahan, with Musical Director Phil Coulter, The Dubliners Encore is the official stage show celebrating the story of Ireland’s beloved bearded balladeers. Since launching on The Late Late Show last September, the show has performed to thousands of Irish music fans at sold-out venues across Europe. Now, following their recent sell-out Irish tour, The Dubliners Encore takes to the stage again.

The popularity of The Dubliners is unquestionable, their contribution to the world of folk music unparalleled. True originals, the bad boys of Irish folk 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 Sheahan 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. Narrated by Imelda May and 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.

'This show was put together with the love, care, attention to detail, and grandeur that only a crew wholly invested in the true legacy of the Dubliners would ever dare to risk.' 'The cumulative effect of it all was something so nostalgic, educating, nourishing, funny, sad, incredibly rich, and spiritual. But there was some element of magic I could not quite put my finger on.' - Declan O'Rourke

'The musicianship of the band representing The Dubliners is incredible. It's classy, emotive, informative, an impressive night of music, great film footage and incredible stories' - Imelda May
