The Wolfe Tones play ‘final show’ after 60 years of touring

The final curtain has seemingly closed.

On Sunday night, The Wolfe Tones played what many believe to have been their final ever gig at a sold out Dublin 3Arena.

The final show signalled the end of the band’s farewell tour which began with them playing the Main Stage of Electric Picnic before they began a full tour of Ireland, and even released a final song in the meantime.

Taking to X after last night’s show, many praised the band for their tireless work over the years and for the memories they helped create.

One person wrote: “Well folks, there truly ends an era. The retirement gig of The Wolfe Tones. A magical and quite emotional night. Thank you lads for the music and the memories. @wolfetones.”

Sinn Fein politician John Brady wrote: “Great night at the Wolfe Tones final ever concert. Thanks for 60 years of letting the people sing their stories and their songs, And the music of their native land, Their lullabies and battlecries and songs of hope and joy.”

Another fan wrote: “Happy retirement @wolfetones … 60 years on the road, incredible stuff.”

It certainly looks like this could be the end of the line for The Wolfe Tones – unless Liam Gallagher gets in touch
