Following the success of the Melbourne Celtic Festival ON TOUR 2025, we’re delighted to be back on the road in 2026 with the best St Patrick’s Day ‘Craic’!
Theatres across Australia get ready for a full evening of live Celtic music with acclaimed local and international acts.
Direct from Dublin, duo Ghosts of Erin deliver traditional folk-rock, blending gritty Irish ballads & fast-paced tunes, before Australian Folk Band of the Year winners and crowd favourites Austral return with their signature sound of high-energy fusion of Celtic dance music, didgeridoo, fiddles, pipes, guitar and percussion.
Rounding out this year’s line-up is Australian Youth Folk Artists of the Year, Melbourne-based all-female trio Apolline. With their close harmony vocals, fiddle, cello & double bass, they bring fresh, intricate arrangements of Celtic songs and original compositions inspired by Scottish and Irish traditions.
Melbourne Celtic Festival is the only Celtic Music Festival touring Australian theatres in 2026! With whistles, reels & stomping jigs, this full-scale music festival is the perfect way to mark St Patrick’s Day in true Celtic style. Wear something green, bring your friends & get ready for a night of unforgettable live music.
