Dermot Kennedy to Play Intimate European Tour in September

Multi-platinum singer/songwriter Dermot Kennedy has announced an extensive, intimate September tour in the UK and Europe, ahead of his October North American tour, announced last week.

Since taking control of his data, Dermot will be running the presale for the tour through his own database for a better fan experience. Fans will need to sign up for his mailing list at this link and follow the steps. The presale will take place on Wednesday, 28th May from 10am local to Thursday 29th 10pm local. Fans will need to sign up before 10am BST/ 11am CEST on Monday 26th may to be eligible for the presale. The intimate dates include London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town, Belfast Ulster Hall, and two nights at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre.

Known for his passionate and powerful live performances, Dermot has graced the stages of such iconic venues as London’s O2 Arena and New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The Autumn run will be a nod to his early busking days, with stripped-back performances that reflect the tone of these more up-close and personal settings, making for a deeply connective and interactive fan experience. The shows will feature favorites spanning Dermot’s discography, along with new material, including his most recent single, “Let Me In”. Co-written and produced by Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey, Anderson Paak), the hauntingly beautiful track highlights Dermot’s effortless emotional delivery and rich vocals. The track currently has more than 6 million streams on Spotify.

Other upcoming live events for Dermot include a special half-time performance at Soccer Aid Match in Manchester on June 15th, and an exciting bill with GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Zach Bryan at British Summer Time Festival June 28th-29th.  Dermot will also support Bryan in the U.S. this fall at Indiana’s famed Notre Dame Stadium on September 6th.

All of this live activity comes on the heels of MISNEACH, a new annual global music festival conceived and curated by Dermot himself.  The sold-out MISNEACH festival was held in Sydney, Australia and Boston, MA in March timed to St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.  The joyous events successfully achieved the festival’s mission of spotlighting Ireland’s rich musical heritage and culture. The bill featured an array of both established and rising artists including The Frames, Matt Corby, Kneecap, Meg Mac, Amble, Sorcha Richardson, The Scratch, Susan O’Niell, Fynch, Cliffords Mick Flannery, Florence Road, The Swell Season, Ye Vagabonds, Nell Mescal and headline sets by Dermot.
