It’s not Christmas in Killarney without The Coronas making an appearance at the Gleneagle INEC Arena and they return for what has become an annual gig on December 28.

Following on from 18 months of an enforced break from live shows and dealing with an unfortunate band-name given the pandemic, they persevered and released their new album in August 2020.

'True Love Waits’ was an instant success and secured the No. 1 spot in the Irish charts beating Taylor Swift and Fontaines DC. The album also became the fastest selling Irish album of 2020.

The three-piece band, Danny O’Reilly, Graham Knox, and Conor Egan from Dublin, have released five studio albums and are renowned as one of the best live Irish acts and have become an integral part of the Christmas line-up in the Gleneagle INEC Arena, Killarney.

Tickets from €35.50 for their Gleneagle INEC Arena gig went on sale on Thursday from www.inec.ie.
