Modern trad group return to their roots for a concert in Limerick

MODERN Irish trad band 3 on the Bund are set to wrap up their upcoming Irish tour in Limerick, the very city where the band first came together.

The group known for their dynamic blend of traditional Irish music with modern influences will play Dolans, Limerick on Saturday, October 12, marking the final date of a six-night run across Ireland.

The band’s connection to Limerick runs deep. All members met while studying at the University of Limerick’s Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, making the return to the city especially meaningful.

“We are delighted to be closing our tour in the place we all came together,” said Susan Coleman, speaking on behalf of the band.

Over the past few years, 3 on the Bund have toured extensively across Europe, the US, and Asia, earning praise for their energetic live shows and fresh approach to trad.

They have featured at major festivals including Rheingau Musik Festival, Guinness Irish Christmas Tour of Austria, and both the Irish Folk Festival and Heartbeat Festivals of Germany.

This October marks a rare chance for Irish audiences to catch them on home soil.

Their debut album Frenzy and 2024 live album have been praised for their freshness and finesse, with a second studio album due spring 2026.

The tour runs from October 7-12, stopping in Limerick, Dublin and Tralee, among others.
