Cash Returns: Johnny Cash and June Carter Tribute at Theatre Royal Waterford

What to Expect

Cash Returns bring their Johnny Cash and June Carter show to Theatre Royal Waterford on Saturday 29 August 2026. The band is fronted by JP Mac, whose baritone is the reason the act has held its place on the Irish and UK circuit, and the set works through the Cash catalogue alongside the Carter duets. The show has taken Best Tribute Band at the Hot Country TV Awards in 2016 and again in 2024, and Best Tribute Show at the Northern Ireland Country Music Awards in 2020, 2022, 2024 and 2025.

The act carries an endorsement that matters more than any award: W.S. “Fluke” Holland, who drummed for Johnny Cash for close to forty years, called their work quite amazing. Theatre Royal notes that alcohol is served during the performance and that patrons may stand or dance, so this runs closer to a gig than a formal seated concert, with the usual request to be mindful of people who stay in their seats. Children may attend with adult supervision at a parent’s discretion. Tickets are €34.
