A feel-good Irish musical tribute to The Dubliners, with classics such as 'Whiskey in the Jar' and 'The Irish Rover' performed by a cast of Irish musicians.
Seven Drunken Nights comes to the Belgrade Theatre on Tuesday 2 March 2027, as part of the theatre's Spring season. It's a tribute to The Dubliners, performed by a cast of Irish musicians, so the whole thing is built around the songs and stories that defined Irish folk for generations.
On the setlist are the classics you'll recognise: Whiskey in the Jar, The Irish Rover and Rocky Road to Dublin. It's a show that leans into the storytelling side of the music as much as the singing, with the songs and the tales woven together rather than just played one after another. The cast describes it as a feel-good production, and it's been touring for a decade now, with more than 1,000 standing ovations across packed theatres. Critics have called it a toe-tapping, hip-shaking show, which gives you a fair idea of the energy they're going for.
The production is part of the Belgrade's Spring 2027 season, programmed by Artistic Director Corey Campbell and Interim CEO Emma Flatley. It's billed as the ultimate Irish theatre experience, and since it's performed by a cast of Irish musicians, the connection to the source material is right there on the stage.
