Roy Keane and Roddy Doyle announce two Killarney shows

Roy Keane and Roddy Doyle have announced two dates at Killarney's Gleneagle Arena for September 2026.

The former Republic of Ireland captain and Booker Prize-winning author will take to the stage on Friday, September 18, and Saturday, September 19, as part of their live in conversation event.

The newly announced dates follow multiple sold-out events in Cork, Dublin and Belfast, where audiences turned out to hear the pair discuss Keane's career, football, writing and life beyond the pitch.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest Irish footballers of all time, Keane captained Manchester United during one of the club's most successful eras, winning seven Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the UEFA Champions League. He also earned 67 caps for the Republic of Ireland and has since become one of football's most recognisable television pundits.

Doyle is one of Ireland's most celebrated writers. The Dublin author won the 1993 Booker Prize for Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, while his acclaimed bibliography also includes The Commitments, The Snapper and The Van, the first two of which were adapted into hit films.

The pair first teamed up on Keane's 2014 memoir, The Second Half. More than a decade later, the pair reunited for a series of sold-out in conversation events at Live at the Marquee in Cork, before expanding the format with dates in Belfast, Dublin and now Killarney.

Tickets are set to go on sale on Thursday, July 30 at 9 am.
