Christy Moore at the Keadeen Hotel, Newbridge

What to Expect

Christy Moore plays the Keadeen Hotel in Newbridge on Sunday 30 August 2026. Doors open at 7:00 PM and the concert starts at 8:00 PM, with tickets at €67.50 each sold through Ticketmaster.

Moore has been performing for more than fifty years, first with Planxty and then Moving Hearts before the long solo career that produced Ride On, Voyage and Ordinary Man. A Christy Moore night is built around voice, guitar and bodhran rather than a big stage production, and the between-song talk is as much a part of it as the songs. Hotel function rooms are an unusual setting for an artist of this profile, and the Keadeen’s ballroom keeps the audience close to the stage. Tickets for his Irish dates typically move quickly, so booking early is sensible rather than optional. The Keadeen sits on the Newbridge side of the Curragh and runs a regular events programme, including a Champions Table racing dinner in late September.
