Two-time Olympic champion, Kellie Harrington, joined The Wolfe Tones on stage at Electric Picnic last night.
During the legends spot on the main stage, the crowd went absolutely wild as they invited Kellie Harrington up on the stage.
As she walked on to the stage draped in the tricolour, the crowd serenaded their newly-retired boxing champ with chants of Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole.
After winning the gold in Paris earlier this month, Kellie famously took to the microphone herself with a stunning rendition of Grace however last night she left the singing to the pros.
That being said, frontman Brian Warfield did invite Harrington to sing with them at their Dublin shows in October.
Perhaps this is the beginning of a new chapter for the Olympic champ.
Throughout their set, The Wolfe Tones played all the hits from their sixty years in music, including Grace, The Men Behind The Wire, and Come Out Ye Black and Tans.
Towards the end of their packed out set, the band played their new song, Goodbye, before welcoming Kellie to the stage and playing their legendary hit Celtic Symphony.
Taking to X, many Electric Picnic goers said that the crowd in attendance for the Wolfe Tones was the biggest crowd they had ever seen in their lives.
What a showdown.
