The Irish women of Celtic Woman have been busy beavers this year riffling through 70 shows already, and they are readying to take on a few more dates on their “Isle of Hope” tour that will push them over 100. Starting in Waukegan, IL on October 7, the tour extension will hit several of the second tier markets, wrapping up in Long Beach on November 22. Tickets for several of the shows go onsale through Ticketmaster on August 24.

Comprised of Lisa Kelly, Lynn Hilary, Alex Sharpe and Chloe Agnew on vocals and Mairead Nesbitt on fiddle, the Celtic Woman tour is supporting their latest release “The Greatest Journey: Essential Collection.” The album is a compilation of select tracks drawn from the group’s previous releases. A new single “O, America!” was also released in June in tribute to the first country to embrace Celtic Woman.
