The Wolfe Tones announce final London performance<\/p>\n

\nThe traditional Irish music icons – who celebrate their 60th anniversary this year – will play their biggest UK show to date at Finsbury Park on July 5th.<\/p>\n

\nBrian Warfield said: “The Irish diaspora across the world have always been massive supporters of The Wolfe Tones, and no greater support was had than from the Irish in Britain! I wrote \u2018My Heart Is In Ireland\u2019 as a tribute to the Irish in England, Scotland and Wales. The London Irish hold a very special place in our hearts, there are too many shows to mention but the great nights in The National in Kilburn will never be forgotten. <\/p>\n

\n“It is most fitting that The Wolfe Tones 60th Anniversary Concert will be our final London performance. It will also be our largest ever in the UK, with a headline set in Finsbury Park. We promise to make it a very special experience for what we hope will be a massive attendance as we say farewell to London \u2013 Let The People Sing!\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe band – which also features Tommy Byrne and Noel Nagle – will be supported by The Undertones, The Sharon Shannon Big Band, The Scratch and Br\u00f2geal with tickets going on sale on Friday (15.03.24) at 9am on www.ticketmaster.co.uk. <\/p>\n

\nMichael Bradley of The Undertones said: “It’s great to be sharing a stage (as well as half a name) with The Wolfe Tones on an historic day for them.”<\/p>\n

\nThe Wolfe Tones – who made a record-breaking appearance at Ireland\u2019s Electric Picnic in 2023, which saw them draw one of the biggest crowds in the festival\u2019s history – are set to retire later this year after 60 years of performing.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking about the retirement decision, Tommy said: \u201cI never thought that we would go on so long. It\u2019s been absolutely amazing, but I\u2019m 80 next year and I think that would be a good time to stop.<\/p>\n

\n“I brought this motion to Brian and Noel and they agreed. To go out on a high like this would be a great tribute to the band.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
