KÍLA World Tour of Dublin dates

Kíla are celebrating 25 years together by kick-starting their year with 13 concerts in seven Dublin venues throughout the month of March titled Camchuairt Dhomhanda BÁC – Kíla World Tour of Dublin.

Each night Kíla will perform a different album while earlier in the day they'll perform their highly entertaining kids concert in the same district.

Tickets for the seven evening gigs – priced at €105 – are available from the Kíla website or by emailing [email protected]

Kíla World Tour of Dublin takes place on:

Thur 7 Comhaltas Ceoltóirí, Monkstown
Fri 7 Áras Chrónáin, Clondalkin
Sat 9 An Chlasach, Clontarf
Thur 14 Axis Theatre, Ballymun
Sat 23 Millbank Theatre, Rush
Thur 28 The Mill Theatre, Dundrum
Sat 30 Mermaid, Bray

These gigs coincide with the Blian na Gaelige celebrations, for which Kíla have partnered with Seachtain na Gaeilge, Raidió na Life, Foras na Gaeilge, IMRO, Gaelscoileanna, Scléip and Blian na Gaeilge 2013.

Throughout February and March the band have been visiting different Dublin and Bray Gaelscoils and undertaking workshops in classrooms to show their gratitude to Gaelscoileanna, where they were given the opportunity to play music. While they'll also be inviting bands from Gaelcholáistí (secondary Gaelic Schools) in the area surrounding the venues to play support at the evening shows.

Kíla have also added their name to a new prize, Rogha Kíla, in the national performance competition Scléip (which replaced Slógadh - Kíla reached the finals one year). Kíla members will adjudicate at the finals in the Axis Theatre, Ballymun. The winners will get to perform at one of Kíla's larger concerts later in the year.
