Remembering Joe - The Joe Dolan Show with The Dolan family
Sunday, 5 February
Tickets on sale this Friday!

The Dolan family this week announced the highly anticipated return of Remembering Joe - The Joe Dolan Show with The Dolan family following sell-out performances countrywide. The 2027 nationwide tour will mark the 20th anniversary of Joe Dolan's passing in 2007 — and his music remains as popular as ever.

Joe's brother, Ben Dolan, who shared the stage with his younger brother for 47 fun-filled years, will headline the celebration of Joe's remarkable singing career. “I still miss Joe every day, but his music and meeting the fans at our shows keeps me going, I don’t feel 92”, he said.

Ben will be joined on stage by Joe's niece Sandra, nephews Adrian and Ray, singer Karen Carroll, and members of Joe's original backing band — a 9-piece line-up bringing his sound to life once again.

Tickets on sale Friday, 21 August on corkoperahouse.ie

Dan McCabe
Monday, 4th January | 8pm
Tickets: €41 on sale now

Dan McCabe burst onto the scene in May 2020 when a single YouTube upload—his favourite songs arranged in his signature style—went viral, racking up over 50 million views in just three months. He has since established himself as one of Ireland’s most compelling voices, blending the soul of traditional Irish ballads with contemporary folk.

Today, McCabe is riding the momentum of his chart-topping releases and high-profile performances. His debut self-penned single, Heaven’s Only a Touch Away, shot to #1 in early 2023, and his first studio album, Back to Life (October 2024), also vaulted to #1 on the iTunes charts. Fresh off those successes McCabe is in the studio crafting new material and collaborating with songwriters across Europe and North America.
