The enchanting Irish musical ensemble Celtic Woman returns to Australia off the back of a 90 date US tour (even making time for a quick guest role in daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful), for their first Australian tour since 2010 much to the delight of their legion of fans.
Returning by popular demand, this will be Celtic Woman’s second Australian tour and they’re excited to bring their new show to our shores “I am so excited to be touring Australia with Celtic Woman this September“ said Celtic Woman member Susan McFadden. “I was in Australia for promo with the girls last year and it was so amazing getting to meet our Australian fans. I can’t wait to perform live in such a beautiful country in such fantastic venues. September can’t get here soon enough!”
Named the #1 Billboard World Artist for the seventh time in 2012, Celtic Woman combines the talents of four gifted Irish women—vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lisa Lambe and Susan McFadden, and violinist Máiréad Nesbitt—whose dazzling performances combine the sounds and sensibility of Irish traditional music with memorable original compositions and contemporary pop standards. The 2013 tour boasts an exciting new stage production and the return of such enduring fan favorites as "You Raise Me Up" and "Orinoco Flow."
Having sold nearly three million concert tickets worldwide, Celtic Woman has won a dedicated and loyal audience, where their elaborately staged, visually stunning concert tours consistently draw sellout crowds. To check out what Celtic Woman has in store for Australia click here.
The group's albums have sold more than seven million copies worldwide. In 2012, ‘Believe’ debuted at # 1 on the ARIA Classical Charts and the DVD quickly rose to # 3 on the ARIA DVD Chart. Celtic Woman has become a multi-platinum selling act in Australia. In the US, Celtic Woman’s two 2012 releases, the acclaimed ‘Believe’ CD/DVD and the holiday-themed CD ‘Home For Christmas, both debuted at #1 on Billboard's World Music chart — marking eight consecutive chart-topping albums for the group.
Formed in 2004 by David Downes (former Music Director of the Irish stage show Riverdance), Celtic Woman was originally created for a one off stage show recorded for release. The self-titled CD and DVD, ‘Celtic Woman’ quickly climbed to the top of the Billboard World Music chart and stayed there for a record setting 81 weeks, only knocked to # 2 by their second album ‘Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration’. Since then Celtic Woman has emerged as a global cultural phenomenon with their CDs and DVDs becoming multi-platinum best-sellers.
Celtic Woman recently made their soap opera debut as featured guests in multiple episodes of the daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful.
Singing songs of love, loss, hope and inspiration, Celtic Woman celebrates the emotional resonance of Ireland's centuries-old musical and cultural heritage while taking advantage of the limitless options of state-of-the-art production. The result is a breathtaking musical and theatrical experience to be enjoyed by multiple generations of concert goers.
