The internationally-renowned Canadian Irish folk group The Irish Rovers are due in Tauranga next weekend and the show is a sell-out.

Baycourt programme and marketing manager Kirsty Hardwick says tickets have been on sale for two or three months for the one night show on Sunday, October 5.

She says there are just a couple of the $69 and $75 tickets left 'but they will be sold by this afternoon, no doubt”.

Kirsty says it's a brilliant feat for the band and for Baycourt.

'We are thrilled and it's great for Tauranga.”

The Weekend Sun and SunLive had been led to believe the enormously popular group would be by-passing Tauranga during their ‘Farewell to Rovin' tour.

'Definitely not the case,” says Kirsty.

The Irish Rover play at Baycourt on Sunday, October 5 at 7.30pm.
