Christ Church Cathedral Announces Details of New Year’s Eve Gala Concert
Ringing in the New Year at Christ Church Cathedral has become a time honoured event in Dublin and this year the cathedral will host a gala New Year’s Eve concert featuring gospel music by one of Ireland’s finest choirs.
The critically acclaimed Dublin Gospel Choir has become a household name in Ireland, playing numerous concerts each year to sell out audiences both young and old. Their annual performance at the Electric Picnic is now legendary and the choir has also performed to a sell–out 82,000 crowd at Croke Park. They have shared the stage with music industry heavyweights such as Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart, John Legend, Damien Rice and The Chieftains. The choir also featured along with Chris de Burgh on a special New Year’s Day BBC Songs of Praise programme which was broadcast to over 35 million viewers worldwide. They last performed at Christ Church Cathedral in January as part of The Dubliners’ 50th Anniversary celebrations.
The Christ Church New Year’s Eve Gala Concert is one of the top–selling concert of the year in the Cathedral. Given the huge demand for this concert, tickets quickly disappear so book early to avoid disappointment.
Doors open at 8.30pm and the concert begins at 9pm. Tickets cost €45 per person and include a post–concert champagne reception followed by a private gathering on the Cathedral grounds to ring in the New Year by the world famous Cathedral Bells. Tickets are available from the Cathedral website on
