The Whistlin’ Donkeys are making their much-anticipated return to Australia, hitting stages across the country this January and February 2026.
Hailing from County Tyrone, Ireland, The Whistlin’ Donkeys have carved out a fierce following with their signature blend of traditional Irish folk and high-energy Celtic rock.
Their explosive live shows, filled with pounding rhythms, soaring fiddle lines, and sing along anthems, have made them one of Ireland’s most in-demand live acts — and an unstoppable force on Aussie soil.
The band has just recorded a version of the iconic Men At Work song 'Land Down Under' to play at shows in 2026.
This is a show that promises to be loud, lively, and unforgettable.
Don’t miss your chance to witness one of Ireland’s finest – live and unleashed in Australia.
