Celtic rock with an edge! The Young Dubliners bring their high-energy fusion of Irish folk & electric rock to Minneapolis as part of their upcoming 2026 Hot Toddy Tour!
With 30 years of touring, 9 albums, and a sound that’s rocked everything from Jimmy Kimmel Live to Sons of Anarchy, these legends are back stronger than ever & ready to remind us all why live music matters.
Considered one the world’s leading Celtic rock bands, The Young Dubs’ sound defies categorization – the band is often described as Ireland’s answer to Los Lobos, with “a similar combination of traditional folk music, raucous electric rock, and forward-thinking experimentation” (Allmusic.com). The five-piece group, based in Los Angeles and fronted by Dublin native powerhouse vocalist Keith Roberts, has garnered a passionate legion of fans in North America and beyond. Celebrate the musical legacy of the Emerald Isle with this renowned Celtic rock band!
The Young Dubliners hit the road stronger than ever and determined to bring their fusion of Celtic and rock music to as many people as they can. The band is Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar), Chas Waltz (Violin, keys, vocals), Justin Pecot (guitar, vocals), Dave Ingraham (drums), and Ethan Jones (bass guitar). With a solid line up and a new batch of songs to play, The Young Dubliners are excited to bring live music back into people’s lives. “We want to be the band who reminds the world how important a good gig can be to our sanity after what we’ve all been through,” says Roberts. In recent years The Young Dubs have toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for such a diverse list of artists as Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos, Chris Isaak, and many more.
Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called ‘Celtic Rock,’ that label can often be misleading. The Irish influence is certainly there, but it’s not the only influence that bursts through on their albums or live shows. After all, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind. “That was always the idea,” explains Roberts “The sound was intended to be a hybrid because we all come from different backgrounds. Even though I am from Ireland, a lot of the music I listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all, but when I got here, I got homesick and developed a new appreciation for Irish Music. In truth the Celtic riffs can just as easily come from the American band members. Everyone writes now so you never know what you’ll end up with.”
“... a maelstrom of fiddle vamps, howling guitars and frenzied drums. But even so, the hint of rueful melancholy that lies at the heart of traditional Celtic music survives, transformed yet triumphant.”–Amazon Music
