The Young Dubliners return to Rams Head On Stage on the Rising Road Tour

The Celtic rock regulars are back on West Street for Friday, April 2, 2027, while they work on a fan-funded tenth album.

Some bands play Annapolis. The Young Dubliners keep coming back. The Celtic rockers were at Rams Head On Stage in February 2023, again in March 2025 and again this past February. Now they've put the room on the calendar one more time: Friday, April 2, 2027, on The Rising Road Tour.

Per the Rams Head event page, doors are at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8. Tickets are on sale through Rams Head and AXS. The show was announced October 19. Rams Head On Stage holds about 300, and this band has a following here, so a spring Friday in a room that size won't wait for you.

The band's history in the room is easy to trace. A 2023 tour announcement listed a February 12 stop at Rams Head on Stage on the "Paddy" tour. AXS shows a March 20, 2025 date. Rams Head lists a February 10, 2026 show on The HOT TODDY Tour. That's four Annapolis visits in about four years, counting the new one. A band doesn't keep booking a 300-seat room on the same street unless the room keeps selling.

Four Annapolis visits in four years means the room keeps saying yes.

What's new this time is the record in progress. The band says that after thirty years as one of the leading Celtic rock bands, it has started work on its tenth studio album, according to a 2026 University of Wisconsin event listing. It is also asking fans to pay for the album instead of going through a traditional record company. That matters to anyone buying a ticket. For a band funding its own record, a Friday night crowd on West Street is support in a very direct way.

The spring date also changes things a little. The past three Annapolis visits all fell in February or March. An early-April Friday comes a little later in the year than the band's recent visits.

Rams Head On Stage suits a band like this. With about 300 seats, you're near enough to watch the players, and the songs built for singing along come back from the crowd at full volume. Repeat visitors know the routine: get there at doors, get dinner sorted, and be ready when the band starts.

Thirty years in, with a new album funded by the people who show up, the Young Dubliners are coming back to a room that has kept them coming back.
