Who hasn't had Killeagh stuck in their head for months at this point... and we've good news as Kingfishr are playing huge gigs in 2026.
The band has even added a fourth date for an Irish summer headliner show after seeing big success in 2025 with their songs, including the hurling anthem Killeagh.
Sharing their live dates at the start of August, Kingfishr said: 'An arena, a stadium and a castle walk into a bar… SSE Arena, Belfast / Virgin Media Park, Cork / Malahide Castle, Dublin - June 2026.'
The trio, comprised of Eddie Keogh, Eoghan 'McGoo' McGrath, and Eoin 'Fitz' Fitzgibbon, will first take to the stage in Belfast on June 9 before playing Cork on June 12 and then Dublin on June 13.
General sale tickets for the shows went on sale on August 15 and it didn't take long for the band to announce a second Cork date.
As well as the June 12 show, Kingfishr will now also play in Cork on June 11.
Fans were delighted to see the big gigs in the calendar, with many saying it was 'unbelievable news' and that they'd be trying to secure tickets.
Killeagh reached number one on the Irish charts in May, with the band often speaking about the sweet story behind the unexpected hit.
Chatting on the Two Johnnies podcast, Fitz explained that he made a deal with a pal that if Killeagh made it to the east Cork junior final, they’d write a song for the team.
@the2johnniesofficial Kingfishr joined us recently on the podcast, where they performed their song Killeagh for us, and told us the story of how the song came about. Some tune!

Low and behold, they made it to the final and Killeagh was written. Since then, it's taken on a life of its own and become quite the hurling anthem.
Here's hoping we can secure tickets to the summer 2026 gigs and get to sing it from the crowd!
