Mary Black

The Slán Tour

Mary announces her final tour April/May 2026

“I’ve been thinking long and hard about retiring and have finally decided that the time has

come for me to step away from life on the road… this next Irish tour will be my last: *The Slán

Tour*.

It’s been an incredible journey over the past 45+ years , full of highs, some challenges, and

many unforgettable moments. While it’s not easy to say goodbye, I know the time is right to

close this chapter.

To everyone who’s supported and followed me down through the years, thank you from the

bottom of my heart.

I also owe a huge debt of gratitude to my loyal band: Bill Shanley, Pat Crowley, Richie

Buckley, Nick Scott and Liam Bradley, whose amazing talents and friendship enriched my

touring life.

With these great musicians by my side again, I intend to make this final tour very special and

one to remember!

Hope you’ll join us for this last farewell.

Love,

Mary X”
