Luke Combs at Slane Castle: Everything you need to know for Slane Concert 2026

A Slane Concert guide to start times, transport, ticket information, and more.

Slane Castle will once again host A-list talent from the music world as American county music star Luke Combs is set to take centre stage in July.

Born in North Carolina, Combs will be the first Slane headliner to ever lead back-to-back nights at the Meath venue.

The singer-songwriter will perform on July 18 and 19, as it ends a three-year wait for a Slane Concert, after Harry Styles performed on the banks of the Boyne in June 2023.

Boasting over 25 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Combs' Slane dates land in the middle of the European leg of his 'My Kinda Saturday Night Tour', before heading to UK to perform in Edinburgh and London.

The 36-year-old released his sixth album 'The Way I Am' in March, nine years after the release of his first EP, 'This One's For You'. Popular songs of his include 'When It Rains It Pours' and 'Beautiful Crazy', which have both amassed over 1 billion streams on Spotify, and his 2023 cover of Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car' (1988).

The multi-platinum, award-winning artist will be joined on the bill by Dublin fan-favourites The Script, American county singer Ty Myers, and country-trio The Castellows.
