Three Dog Night Set to Rock Buncrana on October 16!

UPDATE: Legendary American rock band Three Dog Night has just announced a highly anticipated concert in Buncrana on October 16, 2024. This landmark performance coincides with the prestigious Tip O’Neill Irish Diaspora Award, to be presented to founding member and lead vocalist Danny Hutton, a native of Buncrana.

The concert will take place at the historic Buncrana Cinema, marking a significant cultural moment for the town. This event is part of a series of performances aimed at enhancing the town’s vibrant and inclusive night-time economy, as highlighted by Donegal County Council.

The awards ceremony will follow on October 17, 2024, at the Inishowen Gateway Hotel, celebrating Hutton’s international achievements and his deep connection to the community. The Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, Cllr. Paul Canning, emphasized the pride this event brings to Buncrana, stating, “Hosting a band of this stature… will leave a lasting legacy of confidence in what Buncrana can achieve.”

This performance is particularly significant as it is one of only two scheduled shows in Ireland, alongside concerts in Dublin and Belfast. Hutton’s return is expected to inspire local pride and boost community engagement, aligning perfectly with Buncrana’s designation as one of the Government’s Night-Time Economy Pilot Towns.

Sophie Gallagher, Buncrana’s Night-Time Economy Advisor, noted, “Having Three Dog Night perform here… will inspire our community and businesses to keep thinking big about what’s possible for our town at night.” The concert aims to create memorable experiences and attract visitors to Buncrana after dark.

Tickets for this extraordinary event are now available for purchase on Tickets.ie, and with the buzz surrounding Three Dog Night’s performance, they are expected to sell out quickly.

This concert is not just a musical event; it represents a pivotal moment for Buncrana, showcasing the town’s commitment to cultural enrichment and economic vitality. As the community prepares to welcome Three Dog Night, excitement continues to build for what promises to be an unforgettable night of music and celebration.
