2025 Defence Forces Annual Gala Concert in the NCH

Book now for the Defence Forces Annual Gala Concert which takes place in the National Concert Hall on Saturday, 11th October 2025 at 8 pm. Booking is at (01) 4170000 or through the NCH website at www.nch.ie

Defence Forces Bands and special guest mezzo-soprano Gemma Ní Bhriain will combine for an evening of military favourites and popular arias. This is the highlight of the year for all military band enthusiasts. The proceeds of the concert are donated to the Defence Forces Benevolent Fund and Soldiers Aid Fund.

This year’s event may mark the last opportunity many patrons of the Annual Gala Concert will have to visit the NCH for a number of years as there are plans for a major refurbishment and upgrade to it.
