Irish folk royalty The High Kings are set to perform 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 4 at Greeley’s Union Colony Civic Center, 651 10th Ave.

According to a news release, The High Kings formed in 2007, finding immediate success with their self-titled, debut album, reaching No. 2 on the world Billboard music chart and selling out five consecutive shows at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre. The group’s second studio album “Memory Lane” went platinum only four months after its initial release, after which the band began touring globally.

They even received a personal invitation from former President Obama to perform at the 2012 White House St. Patrick’s Day celebration, according to the release.
