Celtic Thunder

Celtic Thunder er en irsk sanggruppe og sceneoptræden, der er kendt for deres store og teatralske shows. Gruppen får backup af Celtic Thunder Band under deres koncertturnéer, og deres liveshows er kendt for brug af dramatiske kulisser, der ofte bruger symboler fra keltisk mytologi, visuelle effekter og koreografi.

Siden gruppes dannelse i 2007 har Celtic Thunder udgivet 12 studiealbums og 10 live DVD'er.

Tidslinje 

 Neil Byrne begyndte i 2007 som backupsanger og guitarist før han blev fuldt medlem.
