The Sinéad & Shane at Carnegie Hall show will feature performances by friends, collaborators and fans of the iconic musicians, including Cat Power, David Gray, Glen Hansard and Dropkick Murphy’s.

O’Connor died in July last year at the age of 56, while The Pogues frontman passed away in November, aged 65.

The pair, who released the duet Haunted together in 1995, were the focus of tremendous outpourings of grief by music fans around the world.

Other acts confirmed include Amanda Palmer, Kat Edmonson, Gordon Gano, Eugene Hütz, The Mountain Goats, Julia Cunning and The Resistance Revival Chorus with more to be announced.

In 2022, Cat Power included a version of The Pogues classic, A Pair of Brown Eyes on her album, Covers.

The rendition was praised by the band’s tin whistle player, Spider Stacy.

"This has got its hooks in me and it won't let go," he said. "Gorgeous interpretation."
