Black Stone Cherry – have announced a headline show at The Academy Dublin  as part of their An Evening With tour

Black Stone Cherry are a band in the truest sense of the term. Almost twenty years on from their incendiary self-titled debut, plus eight albums – including six UK Top 20 hits as well as four top 25 US radio singles over the past two albums – and scores of devoted fans worldwide, the Kentucky foursome retain the fire and camaraderie of their teenage selves. They are a truly collaborative force, in a way that few other bands at this level are. Hard rockers of enormous heart. Four accomplished songwriters with rock, metal, roots, blues, soul and hip hop in their blood. Old friends with an instinctive, compassionate sense for what each other is feeling.Black Stone Cherry have now announced a headline Academy, Dublin show for Monday, 26^th October 2026.

Hailing from Kentucky, USA, BLACK STONE CHERRY have shared plans for a massive headline tour of the UK lasting nearly a month. The special “An Evening With” shows will follow their recently-announced EU tour, and will call through Nottingham, Margate, Norwich, Manchester, Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Wolverhampton, Cardiff, Torquey, and Frome, before culminating in two shows in London. The evening will include two separate sets from the southern rockers, playing their legendary 2006 self-titled debut LP in full (marking its 20th anniversary), and a second set of long-time classics and new songs off the upcoming EP, “Celebrate”.

Talking about the tour, the band say:

“We cannot wait to come back to the UK and celebrate with all of our Cherry Heads across so many different cities! Touring overseas is such a thrill and exciting thing for us and we will absolutely bring the energy and vibe with us to every stop on the tour! Plus, new music! Love you and see you soon!”
