The Kantos Quartet plays The Source Arts Centre in Thurles on Friday, 18 September 2026, opening a busy weekend at the venue that continues the following night with Eddi Reader and the Alan Kelly Gang. Tickets are €15, considerably less than the following night’s headline show, which makes this a lower-cost way into the venue’s autumn music programme. The booking sits within the centre’s regular pattern of pairing a smaller-scale act on a Friday with a bigger name on the Saturday.
The Source Arts Centre’s own listing confirms the date, venue and ticket price for this show but does not publish a detailed programme note, so the exact repertoire is best confirmed directly with the box office closer to the date. What is fixed is the setting: a 250-seat theatre with raked seating and no restricted-view seats, run by Tipperary County Council as the county’s main arts venue in Thurles. The venue bar is open before the show and, where there is one, during the interval. The Source Arts Centre programmes a broad autumn season across music, theatre, dance and comedy, and this booking is one of several music dates running through September and into October, alongside the Eddi Reader show the next night and Niall Breslin’s date in early October.
The Source Arts Centre is on Cathedral Street in Thurles town centre, close to Liberty Square. Thurles railway station, on the Dublin to Cork and Limerick lines, is a short walk away, and Bus Éireann services connect the town to Nenagh, Clonmel and the wider county.
Thurles is best known as the birthplace of the GAA, founded in the town in 1884, with Semple Stadium a short walk from the arts centre. There is more to see in Thurles and across Co. Tipperary.
