Touring tribute show to The Dubliners celebrating five decades of Irish folk music with classics like 'Whiskey in the Jar'.
Seven Drunken Nights comes to the Princess Theatre on Thursday 4 March 2027, a tribute to The Dubliners that traces the band's career back to their 1962 formation in a back room at O'Donoghue's Pub. It follows five decades of music and brings to life the stories of Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna, John Sheahan, Ciaran Bourke and Jim McCann.
The show is billed as the ultimate feel-good Irish show, celebrating the music and legacy of Ireland's favourite sons. It's played venues worldwide and had a spell in the West End, and it's now returning to theatres with a brand-new staging for its 5th Anniversary tour, produced in partnership with Tourism Ireland and in association with O'Donoghue's pub itself. The set is packed with classics like 'Whiskey in the Jar', 'The Irish Rover' and 'Rocky Road to Dublin', bringing the joy of Ireland's rich folk music tradition to the stage.
If you've never come across them, The Dubliners were one of the most influential folk groups to come out of Ireland, and this production is built around their history rather than just their songs. It starts with that back room at O'Donoghue's in 1962 and works through the five decades that followed, so you get the stories of the men behind the music as well as the tunes themselves. The anniversary tour brings a new staging to the show, and it's touring in partnership with Tourism Ireland and in association with O'Donoghue's.
