The Wolfe Tones, one of Ireland's most legendary and enduring folk groups, performed their final shows at The Gleneagle this weekend, marking the end of an era at a venue that had been a special part of the band's journey.

Famous for their rousing anthems and deeply rooted Irish folk traditions, The Wolfe Tones has captivated audiences for 60 years, and The Gleneagle has been a cherished stop on their tour schedule since the very beginning.

The weekend's two sold-out shows were an emotional farewell to a venue that held special meaning for the band and their fans.

"We have always felt a deep connection to Killarney and The Gleneagle. The energy and passion of the audiences here have been unforgettable over the years," said band member Tommy Byrne. "This weekend's performances were a celebration of everything we've shared together."

The Gleneagle had hosted The Wolfe Tones hundreds of times throughout the band's 60 years on the road.

Patrick O'Donoghue, CEO of The Gleneagle, said, "The Wolfe Tones were stalwarts of our cabaret for decades, performing in The Gleneagle Ballroom every Thursday night of the summer.

They have a rich history of standing-room-only concerts at The Gleneagle, so it's fitting that their final bow here was to a full house in The Gleneagle INEC Arena. It is an emotional farewell, but we wish Brian, Tommy, and Noel the very best for the future."

The 8,000 fans lucky enough to have tickets for the weekend's concerts heard a memorable setlist featuring all the favourites as well as special moments to mark the significance of these final performances at The Gleneagle.

The Wolfe Tones are set to perform their last-ever concerts in Dublin's 3Arena in October.
