Aslan announce headline 3Arena concert to celebrate 40th anniversary

Aslan have announced a headline 3Arena concert as part of their 40th anniversary tour.

The much-anticipated-concert will take place on Saturday, September 17.

Tickets for the gig cost from €49.50 including booking fees, with tickets already on sale through Ticketmaster.

Aslan formed in 1982, and have had numerous chart-topping hits including 'This Is' and 'Crazy World'.

Last year, Christy Dignam opened up about how difficult Covid-19 lockdowns were for musicals.

He told the Irish Mirror that the pandemic has left him broke

Christy said: “I haven’t worked in 14 months, I did everything the Government asked me to do. I cocooned, stopped gigging, did everything right.

"When I went to pay my mortgage last month I had €300 left in the account.

“I haven’t got next month’s mortgage, I swear to God I’m not winding you up, I’m telling the God’s honest truth.

“We were pinning everything on this grant, now we’re f***ed.

“I was going to call up to the local Chinese yesterday to see if they want a delivery driver.”

They will also tour around Ireland to celebrate four decades of worldwide success with shows in 17 different counties planned.
