Mar 06, 2015

International music sensation Celtic Woman has just announced a series of Australian stops during its 2015 world concert tour, celebrating the group’s 10th anniversary together. Following two hugely successful Australian tours, Celtic Woman is returning by popular demand and they can’t wait to bring their new show to our shores.

“We’ve been dying to get back to Australia,” says singer Susan McFadden. “It’s long overdue and next year is a really special year as its Celtic Woman’s 10th Anniversary so we can’t wait to come and perform everyone’s favourite songs”.

It was a decade ago that Celtic Woman first introduced millions of new fans to the group’s fresh fusion of Irish musical tradition, contemporary song craft and state-of-the-art stage production. Since then, Celtic Woman’s uplifting music has touched the hearts of a devoted global audience that’s embraced the group’s massively popular public television specials and made the group’s CDs and DVDs into multi-platinum best-sellers.

Recently named the #1 Billboard World Artist of the year for the sixth time, Celtic Woman showcases four gifted Irish women – three world-class vocalists and a brilliant Celtic violinist – whose talent and charisma bring centuries of musical and cultural tradition to life. The 15 member ensemble includes a full band, bagpipers, Irish dancers and the Aontas Choir, all under the direction of Emmy®-nominated music producer David Downes.

These anniversary performances will honour Celtic Woman’s musical history and feature a selection of fan favourites, encompassing Irish classics, contemporary standards and classical favourites alongside memorable original compositions, bridging the past and present with the distinctive grace and style for which Celtic Woman has become known.

Celtic Woman has sold over three million concert tickets and eight million copies of its nine CDs and eight DVDs worldwide and has enjoyed chart topping success in Australia making them a platinum selling act both abroad and on Australian soil.

Celebrating an incredible musical journey, Celtic Woman’s 10th Anniversary World Tour offers a one-of-a-kind concert experience that will enchant long time fans and newcomers alike.
