Luke Combs is set to make history as the first artist to perform two consecutive nights at the iconic Slane Castle.
Following the announcement last week that the acclaimed US country music star would grace the renowned venue on Saturday, July 18th, as part of his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour,
a second date has been added for Sunday, July 19th, 2026, “due to overwhelming demand.”
The 35-year-old North Carolina native will be supported by Irish pop rock band The Script, American country singer Ty Myers, and the all-female country music trio The Castellows.
Tickets for both highly anticipated dates will be available for purchase this Friday, commencing at 10:00 BST.
Presale tickets for the initial date were released earlier today, with presale access for the newly added second date beginning at 15:00 BST.
Luke Combs will be the first country music performer to headline at the County Meath venue, which has previously hosted legendary acts such as Queen, David Bowie, U2, Madonna, Oasis, Bruce Springsteen, and most recently Harry Styles in 2023.
The venue boasts a capacity of 80,000 and has been staging concerts since 1981.
His performances will mark the first time an artist has played two consecutive nights at the historic site.
