The legendary Irish folk group The Fureys will perform their last ever concert in Stockport, Greater Manchester, on March 12, 2026. This performance at the Stockport Plaza is part of a 105-date global farewell tour that marks the end of the band’s 45-year career.
The show starts at 7:30 pm and serves as the sixth and final time the group will play at this specific venue. Original members Eddie Furey and George Furey will lead the performance, supported by a full backing band.
The Stockport Plaza Trust has prepared the restored 1932 Art Deco theatre for the event. This venue was saved by the trust and returned to its original glory, including its period seating and historic design.
The farewell tour first began in October 2025 and will conclude in Dublin in May 2026. This local date offers long-time fans in the community a final chance to hear famous folk hits like The Green Fields of France and When You Were Sweet Sixteen live.
