What do we think?
New album?
New special??
Both??
I haven't seen anything on social media about them recording in the studio.

Do we think given no tour this spring that they will record something new later this year???
Looking back on the cycle over the last four years it seems a given that it's time.
2021: Postcards from Ireland recorded and filmed June and July, released: Oct 29, 2021 and premiered on PBS: Nov 27, 2021 (DVD received general release January 2022).
2022: Postcards from Ireland tour: February-June + August Ireland shows, Christmas Cards from Ireland EP recorded September and released Nov 4, 2022, Christmas Symphony tour.
2023: No spring tour, Studio recording for 20 around July and August 2023, 20th anniversary concert August 25, 2023 and premiered on PBS Nov 25.
2024: 20 CD & Live DVD released on January 26, 20 Tour: February-May, Christmas Symphony tour.
2025: No spring tour.
Wonder if they will record "end of the summer" as they seem to tend to. Do we think they'll tape a special too??  If they record they would release the album either before the symphony tour (October or November which they've done before) or early on in the new year (end of January again most likely) before the spring tour would begin.

An Evening with Celtic Thunder - Their Greatest Songs and, along the way, a Reunion with Old Friends was announced today. Tour begins September 10 in Delaware and runs through the 25th of October. Ronan, Neil, Emmett and Damian along with Paul, Ryan and Colm.
Tickets on sale Wednesday and Friday of next week.

I know this is a carbon copy of a post I made the last two years but it's the time of year that I ask it.
I’m wondering when we think we’ll get an official announcement.
Looking at the past.
2006: Can’t find a lot. Some seemed to go on sale between August’05 and January ‘06.
2007: Announced 12/4/06. Earliest on sale ca. December 8/9, 2006. Might've been a few at a time on that one???
2008: Announced 11/26/07. Must’ve been spread out December ‘07-February ‘08.
2009: Announced November 2008. Everything through Mother’s Day went on sale 11/21 and 12/15/08. The latter half in March ‘09.
2010: Announced 12/3/09. On sale 12/14/09 (some before).
2011: Announced 11/29/10 (close to the announcement introducing Lisa L). On sale 12/10/10 (some before and at least one after).
2012: Announced 12/12/11. On sale 12/16.
2013: Many dates went on sale in June 2012. October 12, 2012 was the large on sale date. Minneapolis MN went on sale on December 7. Some later dates went on sale right before the tour started.
2014: Announced 10/1/13. Many dates on sale 11/8/13.
2015: Announced 9/2/14. On sale 9/17/14.
2016: Announced 11/2/15. Large on sale date 11/16/15.
2017: Announced 9/26/16. Most dates on sale 10/5/16 (at least one on 10/3).
2018: Announced 10/4/17. On sale 10/13/17.
2019: announced 10/17/18. Most dates on  sale 10/24/18.
2020: Announced 10/2/19. On sale 10/18/19 (those shows that could happen)..
2022: Most dates were ported over from 2020. New dates went on sale in April & September 2021.
2024: Announced 9/26/23. On sale 9/29/23 (some date were later -- Minneapolis was not announced until 11/27 and went on sale 12/1).
The days of the week this year are just like they were when Emerald and the aborted 15 year anniversary tour were about to be announced.
The days of the week in the new year are the same as they were for most of year 2 of A New Journey (which was in a leap year) & Emerald.
I wonder if announcement will be
*10/2
or
*10/9
or
*10/16.
then on sale will be
*10/4
or
*10/11
or
*Wed 10/16 -- for sure the first leg for X, some VoA dates and Ancient Land went on sale on Wednesdays.
or
*10/18
or
*Monday 10/21
or
*Wed 10/23 -- this was the week Ancient Land went on sale.
Or
*10/25.
or
*Monday 10/28.
Or will they be late and go after the US presidential election.
11/11 on sale 11/15 or Mon 11/18.
11/18 on sale 11/22 or Mon 11/25.
11/25 on sale 11/29 (that was the on sale date for the cancelled 15 year tour show in Minneapolis) or Mon 12/2.
Knowing it's uncertain about if they even will tour I have a feeling that whatever they do do tour wise if they do tour in the new year may be more performances of 20 -- they have only done the one North American leg and I assume they want to take 20 elsewhere given that they didn't get to do the 15th anniversary tour elsewhere (10 was Europe in January--February 2015 then North America from March-June then a summer rest then down under then back to North America for the duration of October then back to the UK to finish up in November). I have not seen anything on their instas showing a stack of sheet music/any one or two of them in the studio standing at a mic so is it safe to assume they may not have been recording this summer which is why I'm feeling like next year maybe more legs of the 20 tour.

Last we heard Muirgen said something was up but there hasn't been much imagery of them in the studio has there???
I wonder if we'll get album #16 at some point in the next year (knowing how frequent they are releasing new music). I know there is a christmas tour this holiday season but beyond that.....
Do we think that next year we will get another run of the 20 tour (UK/Ireland + maybe some of the countries they go to that do not speak english) or what??
I have a feeling if we are getting a new album soon that it will not have a special to go with it.

What do we think is next for Celtic woman??
Overseas tour dates?? New music??

Had their shows on the 15th anniversary tour affected by the pandemic and are going to the 20th anniversary tour??
