What’s the event about?
Donegal’s own Onóir is bringing their acclaimed live show back to Dublin for one night of pure Irish folk magic. This modern Irish folk quartet – known for their rich vocal harmonies and fresh take on traditional ballads – will return to the O’Reilly Theatre on Friday, 1 May 2026. Audiences can expect an energetic, heartwarming concert as the four-piece group shares the authentic sounds of Ireland in the heart of the capital. It’s the perfect way to kick off the May bank holiday weekend with friends and family, enjoying a home-grown musical phenomenon on a Dublin stage.
Onóir have rapidly become one of the country’s most in-demand folk groups. Formed in Co. Donegal in 2020, the group quickly went viral with their harmony-driven rendition of “The Auld Triangle,” bringing a classic Irish ballad to a whole new audience. Since then, they’ve performed sell-out shows across Ireland and the UK, captivating listeners with powerful vocals and contemporary flair. Now, after tours that have taken them overseas, the band returns to Dublin – by popular demand – for an intimate one-night concert.
What to expect
Onóir’s live performance is a musical odyssey through Irish tradition with a modern twist. From beloved folk anthems to lesser-known Gaelic gems, the quartet put their own unique stamp on every song. Their setlist spans soulful traditional ballads, rousing pub sing-alongs, and vibrant new arrangements of Celtic classics. Expect stirring fiddle and guitar melodies, foot-tapping rhythms, and goosebump-inducing four-part harmonies. Onóir’s engaging stage presence – honed over two years of touring – ensures a warm, local atmosphere. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to Irish folk music, you’ll be clapping and singing along before the night is through.
