The Saw Doctors at TF Royal Theatre

What to Expect

The Saw Doctors bring their live show to TF Royal Theatre in Castlebar on Saturday 5 September 2026. The venue describes it as the band’s first show in the county in more than fifteen years, which is the main reason this one moved quickly once it was announced. The Tuam band built their following on singalong choruses and small-town Irish detail, and their live sets have always leaned on audience participation rather than spectacle.

TF Royal’s theatre is a large-capacity room attached to the hotel on the Old Westport Road, so the format is a standard concert night: doors at 7pm, support and main set from 8pm, bars open through the evening. Tickets went on sale on Friday 14 August at 10am through Ticketmaster, priced between €46.20 and €51.20 inclusive. Seating arrangements at TF Royal vary by show, so check your ticket before you travel rather than assuming a reserved seat.

Getting There

TF Royal sits on the Old Westport Road on the western edge of Castlebar, a short drive from the town centre and signposted from the N5 and N60 approaches. There is a large free car park on site, which fills early for full-capacity shows, so arriving well before doors is worth it. Castlebar is roughly 20 minutes from Westport on the N5 and about 40 minutes from Ballina on the N57 and N5. Castlebar railway station is on the Dublin Heuston to Westport line and is about a 15 minute walk from the venue, with Bus Eireann services from Galway, Sligo and Dublin stopping in the town.
