Imagine most of the great Celtic bands from the Philadelphia area all in one place. You don’t have to imagine—they’re going to be at the Philadelphia Fleadh, at the Ed Kelly Ampitheater in Pennypack Park in Northeast Philadelphia on Saturday. The Young Dubliners are headliners on the Celtic rock stage, with Blackthorn, Jamison, Bogside Rogues, Galway Guild, the John Byrne Band and many others playing on four stages throughout the day, which is supposed to be beautiful weather-wise.

Irish comic Dylan Moran brings his new show, “Yeah Yeah,” to the Trocadero on Saturday night. You may remember him from the Simon Pegg hit films, “Shaun of the Dead” and “Run Fatboy Run.”

On Thursday, The John Byrne Band does a concert in Pastorius Park in Chestnut Hill. Grab your blanket, grab your baby, grab your bucket of beer and head over there for a lovely evening of Irish, folk, and singer-songwriter fare. On Friday, the band will be bringing its Pogues show to Tir na Nog in Philadelphia too.
