Shania Twain at Malahide Castle: Set list, stage times, how to get ...

25 Jun 2024

Shania Twain, one of the bestselling artists in country music history, takes to the stage at Malahide Castle in Dublin on Friday, June 28th. She last performed in Ireland in September to a sold-out crowd at the 3Arena. Our four-star review described the night as “an array of self-empowerment and self-validation songs that shove male chauvinists out the door with a boot to the butt”.
