Irish folk duo Ye Vagabonds have been announced as the special guest support act for the Patti Smith Quartet show at King John’s Castle on Tuesday, July 14.

The folk band, made up of brothers Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn from Carlow are set to take the stage ahead of the punk rock legend on Tuesday, giving concert-goers and fans a chance to see them with not many show announcements remaining for 2026.

The musicians have just wrapped up a mammoth tour, which included an Irish leg from November 28 to March 29, with their most recent Irish gig played in Dolan’s, requiring a second date to be added due to high demand. Their tour went on to see them perform across Europe up to June 11.
