Seven Drunken Nights: A Tribute to The Dubliners

Seven Drunken Nights brings the songs and story of The Dubliners to Edinburgh Playhouse on Wednesday 17 March 2027. The one-night performance starts at 7.30pm.

A cast of Irish musicians and singers performs the group’s best-known songs while tracing the humour, characters, and pub culture around its long career.

Key Event Details

What To Expect

The promoted set includes Whiskey in the Jar, The Irish Rover, Rocky Road to Dublin, The Wild Rover, and Seven Drunken Nights. Fiddle, banjo, guitar, and group vocals give the performance the feel of a large Irish folk session staged for a theatre audience.

This is more than a loose covers set. The production uses stories and stage links to place the songs in context, while keeping the pace lively enough for an audience likely to sing along with the choruses.

Tickets & Entry

Tickets from £25. Ticket availability and seat choices can change, so use the official event page for the latest options, age guidance, and booking terms.

Location

Edinburgh Playhouse is at the top of Leith Walk on Greenside Place, close to Picardy Place and the east end of Princes Street. Its large stage and seated auditorium suit touring concert productions with substantial lighting and scenery.

Getting There

Picardy Place tram stop is only a short walk away, and many buses serve Leith Street, York Place, and Princes Street. Edinburgh Waverley is around ten minutes away on foot.

Our Tips

• The date falls on St Patrick’s Day, so expect a busy city-centre evening and allow extra time for travel and entry.
• Check the start time and ticket details again before travelling, especially for dates several months ahead.
• Use public transport where possible, as city-centre parking is limited around all three venues.
