The Chieftains

The Beach Boys aren't the only musical icons celebrating their 50th birthday this year: Paddy Moloney's indomitable troupe of traditional Irish musicians have also reached the half century mark. The Chieftains enlisted a lineup of guests including Bon Iver and Paolo Nutini for this year's Voice of Ages album, but they won't be needing any celebrity support for their upcoming Japan tour. After kicking off their ten-date jaunt at Bunkamura Orchard Hall earlier in the month, they return to Tokyo for a show at the equally formal Sumida Triphony Hall.
