After playing Splendour earlier this year, Irish gem Dermot Kennedy will return to Oz next year for his biggest run of headline shows that will take in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.
With the recent release of his debut album, 'Without Fear' [that made Dermot the first Irish solo artist to score a #1 album debut on the UK charts in nearly 20 years], and with over 8.5 million monthly Spotify listeners, how does the 27-year-old Dublin native feel about it all?
“I can genuinely say I’m only excited," he told us in a recent interview.
"I’m not scared or intimidated. It feels like a really nice moment,” he says. “It’s important for me to release full-length projects. I want that to be how I do things. I’m excited to put a bunch of new music out and tour.”
Kennedy will arrive at the zenith of a dizzying build that has taken him from busking on the streets of his native Dublin to the precipice of international mega stardom.
