Galway International Arts Festival and Róisín Dubh present Mary Coughlan at the Heineken Big Top on Wednesday the 23rd July.

Celebrate one of Ireland’s most iconic voices as Mary Coughlan marks 40 years at the heart of Irish music with a spectacular one-night-only Greatest Hits show at the Heineken® Big Top

Often hailed as Ireland’s Billie Holiday, Coughlan’s unmistakable voice and raw, emotional storytelling have made her a legend — and nowhere more so than in her native Galway, where her journey began.

Joined by her full band, enhanced with a sweeping string and brass section, Mary will reimagine four decades of her most powerful songs — from the smoky jazz of The Double Cross the heart-wrenching beauty of Invisible to You. Expect a night of soul, blues, and fearless honesty from a performer who has lived every note she sings. Don’t miss this historic night honouring a true Galway icon.
