GRAMMY-nominated artists Keith and Kristyn Getty invite audiences to an evening of beloved Christmas carols, newly released songs and modern hymns honoring the true meaning of the season through their upcoming tour, An Irish Christmas.
An annual tradition, the Gettys have toured their Irish Christmas concert across America for 15 years and had two PBS television specials. Designed for individuals of all ages, this year’s concert includes Christmas music, humor and Irish dancing followed by a time devoted to the traditional Christmas Scriptures and audience participation carols.
The 2024 tour of An Irish Christmas begins in Nashville, Tennessee, on November 30. The Gettys and their band of virtuoso vocalists and musicians will subsequently travel to eight different U.S. cities for the 2024 tour before a final U.S. stop at Carnegie Hall in New York City on December 16.
The Carnegie Hall event marks two significant milestones, the 10th anniversary of the Getty’s appearance at the historic New York City venue and Keith Getty’s 50th birthday. It will feature special guests including A.R. Bernard of Brooklyn’s Christian Cultural Center megachurch, Alistair Begg, senior pastor of Cleveland, Ohio’s Parkside Church, English Poet Malcolm Guite and Singer-Songwriter Blessing Offor. Additionally, a 150-person choir with members from around the nation will join the Gettys on stage.
After Carnegie Hall, An Irish Christmas tour will culminate in the Getty’s hometown of Belfast, Northern Ireland, with two special Home for Christmas performances on December 19 and 20.
“We have never looked forward to a Christmas tour more than this year,” said Keith Getty. “To be turning 50, going back to Carnegie Hall for the 10th time, and most of all to finally take An Irish Christmas back to our home country makes this an indescribably special occasion.”
