CELTIC THUNDER ‘IRELAND’ TOUR – DATES MOVE TO SPRING 2022ALL PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED TICKETS ARE VALID FOR 2022 TOUR DATESDue to the ongoing issues with the pandemic, the continued closure of the US border to Europe and the lengthy delays in processing the visas needed to tour and perform in the US, Irish Super-group Celtic Thunder has taken a decision to move its US and Canada “IRELAND” tour to Spring 2022. Show producer Sharon Browne cites current US Entry Restrictions for non-US residents as the main reason for moving the tour to 2022. All tickets sold for the 2020 and 2021 tour dates will be automatically transferred to the revised 2022 show dates.As always, VIP & Soundcheck Party Passes will be available in select venues and will be available to purchase closer to the beginning of the tour, where Celtic Thunder Fan Club Members will have first opportunities to purchase during the presales process.“Having closely monitored the current entry and visa restrictions over the past few uncertain months, and after discussion with our Promoters and Partners, we have taken the unfortunate yet inevitable decision to postpone Celtic Thunder’s Ireland Tour to Spring 2022. Borders in the United States and Canada remain closed to travelers from Europe, and US Embassies overseas are not currently offering appointments for visa collection. The lack of any timeline for the reopening the borders or visa processing has left us with no alternative but to reschedule our tour of the USA and Canada to Spring 2022.” states Ms. Browne.All tour dates announced for 2020 and 2021 will be transferred to Spring 2022, with ticket holders retaining their seat locations. For information and guidance on all ticketing matters, ticket holders should contact their original point of purchase.The Celtic Thunder ‘Ireland’ Tour will be a Revue Show that combines years of Celtic Thunder hits and focuses on their most popular songs from their Irish and Celtic fan favorites. It’s going to be a fun and lively show with loads of songs you know to sing along with, that has has gained Celtic Thunder the mantle of Top World Music Act in Billboard four times over! “We, like everyone else the world over, are impatient to get our lives back on track. Knowing that we will be out on the road again soon has kept us going over the past 18 months. We are disappointed to have to postpone the dates once again, we cannot wait to get out and give our all, and to welcome our fans back to a Celtic Thunder show.” says Celtic Thunder soloist Ryan Kelly.
I've been a bit tied up with stuff recently and seem to have missed some changes.Apparently Celtic Thunder postponed the second half of their spring tour.It also seems both Ontario, Canada shows have been pulled from the tour list (in spite of capacity restrictions being lifted here for the fist time in 2 years around the start of March).The one I have a ticket for (on St. Patrick's day, coincidentally) is still listed on the venue's website and I don't see a cancellation / postponement notice so... ? ? ? ? ? ?Tour list including list of postponed shows (new dates to be announced):https://www.celticthunder.com/tour/Due to unforeseen Covid-19 related scheduling difficulties, Celtic Thunder is forced to move a portion of its Celtic Thunder Ireland Spring 2022 tour dates to Fall/ Winter 2022. While the first half of the Spring 2022 concerts will proceed as planned, the latter half are being postponed to later in the year. All tickets previously sold for these dates will be automatically transferred to the new show dates.
I went to the Celtic Thunder tour last night in Clearwater, Florida. Some general comments -- not a review.My first thought was whoever was producing this show was in charge of the DVD of Postcards from Ireland. What I mean is there were a number of videos of Ireland playing behind the group during most of the songs.. In addition, I thought the sound mix was not great -- it was hard to understand the vocalists because of the volume of the band.Stage was simply two platforms for the band.This was, I think, the 3rd show on the tour. They did say how great it was to be back in front of their fans again.I did not buy a program, but they did several familar Irish songs. Mo Ghile Mear, Caledonia, Danny Boy, Galway Girl, Streets of New York. Interesting that they also did Isle of Hope. The intro I thought was interesting. Something like: While this song is about immigrating from Ireland, it's really a song about just about everyone in this County (meaning the US). Just about everyone here had ancestors, and maybe even some of you, who came from someplace else. "Oh yeah, and Ireland's Call has to be one of the greatest closing numbers of all time!!
So the CT website says North America Fall 2023. But if you do a little surfing, it looks like they started reserving some venues for Spring 2024. Something doesn't add up. Hmm...
Is it possible the tour will be split into two legs?? Unless those are some cancelled dates from '22. Did they go from 5 guys to 4?? I could've sworn Colm returned.
