Irish vocal group Celtic Woman will return to the Xcel Energy Center on March 24. Ticket details will be announced soon.

Once dubbed "Riverdance for the voice," the five-member, all-female group formed in 2004 and found nearly instant fame thanks to a frequently aired PBS special. The 2009 Celtic Woman tour launched at the X in February and returned to the Twin Cities for an October performance at the Mystic Lake Casino.

The 2010 tour is based on the group's upcoming CD/DVD "Songs from the Heart," which hits stores Jan. 26. The concert will include renditions of "Amazing Grace," Jimmy Webb's "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress," Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu," Billy Joel's "Goodnight My Angel" and Irish classics such as "My Lagan Love" and "Galway Bay."
