The up-close concert experience is previewed with new music and fan favorites
May 15 2025 – Multi-platinum singer/songwriter Dermot Kennedy has announced an extensive, intimate fall tour in North America, kicking off on October 7th in Vancouver. 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 to his mailing list at this link for further instructions. Promoted by Live Nation, the presale will take place on Wednesday May 21st between 10 am and 10 pm local. Fans will need to sign-up before 10 am PST/1 pm ET on Monday, May 19th. General tickets go on sale Thursday, May 22nd at 10 am local time.
To protect the prices originally set by the artist, this tour will use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange for all necessary resale and make tickets mobile only and restricted from transfer. This means if fans purchase tickets and can no longer attend, they’ll have the option to resell them to other fans at the original price paid on Ticketmaster. This applies to all shows except those in Illinois, Colorado, and New York, where Face Value Exchange cannot be mandated. In Tennessee, this tour will use AXS Face Value Exchange for all necessary resale and make tickets mobile only and restricted from transfer.
Known for his passionate and powerful live performances, Dermot has graced the sages of such iconic venues as London’s O2 Arena and New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The fall 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 six million streams on Spotify.
Other upcoming live events for Dermot include a special half-time performance at Soccer Aid Match in Manchester, UK on June 15th, and an exciting bill with Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Zach Bryan at British Summer Time Festival June 28-29. 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 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.
Dermot Kennedy has amassed four billion streams across platforms, having the best-selling debut album in Ireland of this millennium with his debut Without Fear. A platinum-selling artist in over 12 countries, he released his acclaimed sophomore album Sonder in 2022. In 2024, he stripped back to basics and released the introspective EP, I’ve Told the Trees Everything, Dermot has shared the stage with some of his finest contemporaries, most recently with Niall Horan, Noah Kahan and Zach Bryan. His incredible journey has taken him from busking on the streets of Ireland to playing stadiums around the world. His poetic and authentic artistry has forged a deep, emotional connection with audiences, including the likes of Taylor Swift and Shawn Mendes who have sung his praises.
