An all-star Sinéad O’Connor and Shane MacGowan tribute concert will take place in New York City this spring.
The one-night-only tribute show goes down just after St. Patrick’s Day on March 20th at Carnegie Hall, and will feature performances from Cat Power, The Mountain Goats, Glen Hansard, Dropkick Murphys, Amanda Palmer, David Gray, Bettye Lavette, Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz, Sunflower Bean’s Julia Cumming, Kat Edmonson, and the Resistance Revival Chorus.
The occasion comes after O’Connor’s passing at 56 in July of 2023 and MacGowan’s death at 65 in November of 2023. Billed as “Sinéad & Shane at Carnegie Hall,” the tribute will celebrate the two Irish icons with covers of both artists’ songs.

Several of the artists set to play the concert paid tribute to O’Connor and MacGowan last year with covers of their songs. Amanda Palmer took on O’Connor’s “The Last Day of Our Acquaintance” back in August and Glen Hansard covered The Pogues’ “Fairytale of New York” at MacGowan’s funeral in December (watch below).
