THE DUBLINERS Will Return on Tour in 2026

The world’s biggest celebration of The Dubliners will return in 2026 with its biggest tour yet, in celebration of the production’s 10th anniversary.  Over the last decade, Seven Drunken Nights has become the globe’s biggest and best-loved tribute to one of Ireland’s most iconic bands, earning 1,000 standing ovations from audiences and offering fans a chance to relive the glory days or to discover them for the first time.

Performed by a cast of Irish musicians, the show is packed full of classics like Whiskey in the Jar, The Irish Rover and Rocky Road to Dublin - guaranteed to get your toes tapping as they bring the joy of this much-loved Irish folk band back to the stage.  This ultimate feel-good production celebrates the mastery of The Dubliners, Ireland's favourite musical sons, in association with the legendary O'Donoghue's pub, the famous venue where The Dubliners first started out.

With performances and authentic Irish spirit, the show spans over 50 years, commemorating The Story of The Dubliners for a night of great music and a celebration of the band that influenced many generations of Irish music.  Created and directed by Dublin-born Ged Graham (A Fairytale for Christmas; Punk Off), who also stars in the production, Seven Drunken Nights combines rousing live music, charismatic storytelling and a powerful emotional connection with the songs that shaped a nation. 

The show invites the audience on a trip down memory lane. Whether you grew up listening to The Dubliners or are discovering Irish folk anew, this is a celebration not to be missed. Join the journey, sing along and raise a glass to ten years of Seven Drunken Nights.

Writer and director, Ged Graham comments, With over 1,000 standing ovations and counting, I can’t wait for you to see our brand-new production to celebrate our 10th year of touring. When I first created this show, I could never have imagined the incredible connection it would form with audiences around the world. This year’s show is our most ambitious yet: it’s packed with energy, nostalgia, and the same authentic Irish spirit. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning, or you’re discovering The Dubliners for the first time, I can’t wait for you to experience this next chapter of the story.
