Gaelic Storm, the energetic steerage band that appeared in “Titanic,” is coming back to DeKalb.

This year’s performance will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, at the Egyptian Theatre.

The band visited NIU in 2000 and gave the crowd a taste of its explosive renditions of traditional Irish music.

Gema Gaete-Tapia, chair of the CAB’s Fine Arts Committee, said they wanted the group back because it was well-received on its last visit, and it was on time for St. Patrick’s Day.

Nicole Fulton, assistant manager of University Programming and Activities, said tickets are selling quickly.

“A lot of people have heard of Gaelic Storm and they say it’s a great show,” she said.

Kevin Quaid, manager of University Programming and Activities, agreed and said Gaelic Storm is definitely worth seeing.

“It’s fast-paced, it’s funny, it’s good,” he said. “I was there the first time they came and I had a blast.”

Tickets are on sale at the Holmes Student Center box office. Admission is $5 for students and children under eight; $11 for NIU faculty and staff, students age 8 to 18, and seniors over 65; and $13 for the general public.
