One of Ireland’s best loved artists, Daniel O’Donnell has announced that he will return to in Canada this fall. The tour will see the record breaking chart singer play SaskTel Centre on Saturday, September 16. Daniel burst into superstardom in the USA and Canada in 2002 with his first ever PBS special – The Dan-
iel O’Donnell Show. That began a special relationship between Daniel and PBS and since then, he has recorded a further thirteen specials, with ‘Back Home Again’ being his fourteenth one in 2016. The concert also features Daniel’s long-term singing partner Mary Duff. The Irish singer made record-breaking chart history earlier this year by becoming the first recording artist in the
history of the UK Artist Album Chart to have charted at least one new album every year since 1988, an unprecedented and unbroken 30 year span, surpassing everyone from Michael Jackson, the Rolling Stones, Madonna and Irish strongholds U2. Along with this, Daniel makes regular appearances in the Billboard World Music Chart. Daniel O’Donnell’s Back Home Again tour hits SaskTel Centre, Sept. 16, 2017.
