Hailing from County Tyrone, Ireland, The Whistlin’ Donkeys have carved out a fierce following with their signature blend of traditional Irish folk and high-energy Celtic rock. Their explosive live shows, filled with pounding rhythms, soaring fiddle lines, and singalong anthems, have made them one of Ireland’s most in-demand live acts — and an unstoppable force on Aussie soil.

Following the success of crowd favourites like “Bees Wing,” “South Australia,” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” along with their powerful recent single “When The Ship Comes In,” the band is back with a fresh set, new energy, and a bigger production than ever before.

Whether you're a die-hard fan or discovering them for the first time, this is a show that promises to be loud, lively, and unforgettable.

Don’t miss your chance to witness one of Ireland’s finest – live and unleashed in Australia.
