A major concert celebrating the life and music of Christy Dignam will take place in Dublin next year.

Christy Dignam: A Celebration will be held in Vicar Street on Friday 3 May 2024 and will feature a variety of top Irish artists performing songs that he sang throughout his career, up to his final album.

The celebration is being organised in response to requests from fans and artists for a night to come together to honour the late Aslan frontman's legacy, and is supported by the Dignam family.

Dignam's wife, Kathryn Dignam, said, "Christy loved Vicar Street. It was a place where he felt at home and where he could connect with his fans on a deep level.

"We are so grateful to everyone who is helping to make this celebration a reality."

The remaining members of Aslan confirmed on their Instagram today that they would not be involved with the concert but will be continuing the group with another singer.

The late musician died on 13 June after a long illness.

Tickets go on sale on Monday 18 December at 9am via Ticketmaster.
