Sinéad O’Connor cancels upcoming live performances including planned date on 24 July at the Heineken® Big Top as part of Galway International Arts Festival

In a statement today Sinéad O’Connor’s management announced that due to continuing grief over the tragic loss of her beloved son Shane earlier this year, Sinead O'Connor will not be performing live in 2022.

They said that this has not been an easy decision for Sinead but a decision she has had to make for her own health and wellbeing at this time.

They also expressed thanks to Sinead's friends and fans whose support and understanding we hold in the highest esteem throughout this period and said that the love being shown has been a source of great comfort and peace for Sinead.

Existing ticket holders for Sinéad’s planned concert at the Heineken® Big Top as part of Galway International Arts Festival on 24th July will be contacted directly by the ticketing agent they booked with.

The entire team at the festival are thinking of Sinéad at this difficult time.
