Not sure why the table dimensions changed. Thanks @OlympicIRL for fixing this.

I'm here. I'll try to post from my phone, because I'm away from home.

I'm here. I'll try to post from my phone, because I'm away from home.

We have made it to the end of tonight's opening ceremony. A sincere thanks to all who followed along and for all the performers. See you all tomorrow....
 
You didn't think I forgot, did you??
In keeping with TISC opening ceremony tradition, let's take a sneak peek at the TISC Annual 2025 Scoreboard.... without the scores of course .
It won't be a static scoreboard for this edition, meaning nations will move up and down the scoreboard after each round of votes, based on their rank and this will be displayed in real-time after each jury votes.

We conclude tonight's concert at the Rock of Cashel by remembering a true queen of Irish music. Dolores O'Riordan, with a voice like no other.... we dearly miss you.

In keeping with tradition, let us call upon our designated oath takers to take the artists' and judges' oaths on behalf or all artists and judges.
 
 
Artists' Oath:
 
Artists oath taken by 3-time TISC participants, Blaue Blume from Denmark:

And yes, these flags are sometimes showing connected to the wrong end of the pole, but at least they look right when viewed from this angle. This is a secret, magical world after all

A magnificent rumble is heard across the Rock of Cashel and all of a sudden a great stir descends upon the venue.
Fans have already taken their seats, Séamus has not yet finished his second bottle of Tullamore Dew whiskey so he is still on his best behaviour... so what could this be?
 
 
Just as the high priests had beckoned, ancient gods and goddesses from near and far make their presence felt....
 
Ronan Hardiman - Warriors
 

 

Shadowy figures enter the venue chanting. Séamus reassures us that scary as they may seem, they bear no harm.
They are ancient high priests who are calling to summon the great gods from across the land to bear witness to this magnificent spectacle of music in honour of Ériu-Ceol....
 
 
 

 
 

Have we all made it? Don't worry, Séamus and his friends are here to help guide you along the way if you get lost!
It's time to enter the venue for tomorrow's Grand Final and welcome fans from every corner of the globe.
