Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy returns to Australia in 2026.
The 'Power Over Me', 'Outnumbered' and 'Better Days' hitmaker will headline concerts in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Last month Kennedy released his third studio album 'The Weight Of The Woods', the record landing at #1 on the UK Albums Chart. The result means Dermot is the first Irish artist to have three albums reach that spot.
"'The Weight Of The Woods' is number one in the UK and Ireland. I wouldn't even be part of that conversation if it wasn't for you guys. Thank you for supporting this new album the way you have. Very very lucky and grateful X."
'The Weight Of The Woods' was largely written and recorded at a studio near Kennedy's home in rural Ireland, alongside close collaborator Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey).
"I've lived with these songs for a long time, and have kept them close, like some kind of promise. I'm so so happy to set them free," declares Dermot.
"I dream that they can bring you some hope; and as always, I hope they inspire you to give and search for love, regardless of the outcome.
"This album means everything to me. I hope it reaches lots of people of course, but truthfully the making of this music made it a success in my mind a long time ago.
"That is my true prize. So I want to say thank you. For all the support over the years. The best truly is still to come ♥️."
Tickets on sale from 11am (local time) on 8 May.
