Irish vocal group Celtic Woman [ tickets ], which recently finished a five-week tour of the US, will be back next year for an extensive cross-country outing.

The trek is set to kick off Feb. 14 in Grand Prairie, TX, and visit nearly 50 cities across the US through mid-May. Multiple shows are booked in Providence, RI; New York City; St. Louis, MO; Louisville, KY; Chicago; Seattle; Salt Lake City, UT; San Francisco; and Los Angeles. Details are listed below.

Currently in Japan, Celtic Woman continues to support its platinum-selling January release, "A New Journey," which mixes contemporary hits and classical favorites with Irish standards. The set, which is at the top of Billboard's Top World Albums chart after 42 weeks, inspired the companion DVD "A New Journey: Live from Slane Castle, Ireland."

The ensemble is also supporting its latest DVD, "A Christmas Celebration Live from Dublin," which was released last month. Fans can catch the full DVD performance on a PBS-TV special that is scheduled to air during the network's December pledge drive.

The Celtic Woman phenomenon began as a 90-minute show for PBS, which premiered in the US in March 2005, according to the group's bio. The program aired more than 3,400 times on 316 PBS stations and its success led to the full-scale touring production.

The group currently comprises vocalists Chloe Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Orla Fallon and Lynn Hilary along with fiddle player Mairead Nesbitt. In addition to recording with Celtic Woman, each of the ladies has released her own solo album.
