Tolü Makay, one of Irelands most celebrated performers will grace the stage of The Oriel Centre, Dundalk Gaol on Saturday 17th January 2026 at 8.30pm. 
Tolü has recently been announced as the latest celebrity to take part in RTE One 'Dancing With The Stars' which returns on Sunday 4th January so organisers say they "cant wait to see if she will cha-cha-cha down the walkway in the Oriel Centre", one of the quirkiest and most intimate venues in Ireland.
Tolü is known for creating unforgettable, immersive experiences, she captivates audiences with her elaborate outfits and emotionally charged storytelling. She gained international attention in 2021 when her viral cover of the Saw Doctors  ‘N17’ with the RTE Concert Orchestra garnered over a million views. 
The performance drew acclaim from the Saw Doctors and national and international media. Graham Norton said it moved him to tears while Dara Ó Briain, Chris O'Dowd  and embassies and cultural organizations worldwide have greatly praised the performance. 
Other highlights of her remarkable career include performing for President Michael D. Higgins, appearing in Lewis Capaldi and Niall Horan's Irish road-trip documentary, opening for Disclosure, Alanis Morissette and Gabrielle and gracing prestigious stages worldwide.   
Prepare to be moved, inspired, and uplifted by the music of Tolü in the Oriel Centre, Dundalk Gaol and hopefully she will also showcase some of her DWTS dance moves! Tickets are €35 and are available from The Oriel Centre reception or online www.orielcentre.ie.
