Melbourne Celtic Festival on Tour 2026

Next date: Wednesday, 18 March 2026 | 07:00 PM

Following the runaway success of the inaugural Melbourne Celtic Festival on Tour in 2025, the festival is back on the road in March 2026 bringing the best St Patrick’s Day craic to venues across Australia.

Experience a night of unforgettable live Celtic music featuring acclaimed local and international acts. 

Direct from Dublin, Ghosts of Erin deliver traditional folk-rock with gritty Irish ballads and fast-paced tunes. Headlining the night are Melbourne-based all-female trio Apolline, Australian Youth Folk Artists of the Year! Their close-harmony vocals, fiddle, cello, and double bass combine in fresh, intricate arrangements of Celtic classics and original compositions inspired by Irish and Scottish traditions.

With whistles, reels, stomping jigs, and a festival atmosphere all in one evening, the Melbourne Celtic Festival is the perfect way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day in true Celtic style. 

Bring your friends, wear something green, and join us for a night of music, magic, and fun!
