Ronan Keating and Sharon Corr for Dalriada festival

The headline concert, under cover of a big top, will take place on Saturday 14th July in the grounds of the historic Glenarm Castle Estate.

Keating, who rose to fame as a member of Boyzone, before going solo, will perform a chart-topping set list featuring a selection of his greatest hits from throughout his career – including his debut gold selling debut single When You Say Nothing At All, follow up Number 1 single Life Is A Rollercoaster as well as the ubiquitous If Tomorrow Never Comes, which was the second highest selling single of that year.

In addition to popular ballads like Father and Son, and We’ve Got Tonight among other hits, Ronan will also perform gems from his new album, When Ronan Met Burt, which celebrates the legendary composer Burt Bacharach.

Tickets go on sale from 9am tomorrow morning (Saturday 10th March) priced at £39.95 (including booking fee) on www.ticketmaster.ie and from the Ticketmaster 24-hour hotline on 0844 277 4455 and all usual Ticketmaster outlets.

And with this set to be Ronan’s only concert date in Ireland this year, keen fans are being urged to book early to avoid disappointment.

Joining him will be fellow Irish superstar, Sharon Corr – singer, songwriter, violinist and founding member of family chart-toppers, The Corrs. Sharon, now a successful solo artist and a coach on one of higher viewed talent shows The Voice of Ireland, will be performing tracks from her debut album Dream Of You as well as some of The Corrs’ hits.

The ticket price of £39.95 also offers free access to the action-packed HIGHLAND GAMES ‘Scotland v Ireland’ in the Castle grounds. Further information on the festival and concert can be found at www.dalriadafestival.co.uk. Tickets for Highland Games can be purchased on the gate.
