Brandi Carlile has announced that KT Tunstall will join her at 3Arena Dublin as special guest

 Brandi Carlile has announced that award-winning singer-songwriter and very special guest KT Tunstall will join her on The Human Tour when it reaches UK and Irish shores this October, as well as when they take the show on the road through Europe. KT will delight the crowds with her much-loved repertoire before Brandi takes to the stage at 3Arena Dublin on 15^th October 2026. 

The news comes as Brandi kicked off the US leg of her highly anticipated tour to rave reviews, with sold-out stops so far in Philadelphia, Boston, two barnstorming nights at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden, and a sold out evening in Minneapolis, where the concert’s VEEPS livestream (Be Human: A Concert for Minneapolis) raised over $600,000 for the Advocates for Human Rights. The tour continues across the US, before hitting the UK, Ireland and Europe later this year. 

Brandi made her Glastonbury debut last year. Her Royal Albert Hall show was awarded four stars by The Guardian and The Standard and her Glastonbury set led to incredible reviews including from the BBC (“one of the day’s breakout stars”), Daily Telegraph (“this might be the best Pyramid set so far”), The Times (“[she] blasts the barn doors off”) and more. 

KT recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of her seminal debut album Eye To The Telescope, which spawned the massive tracks Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, Other Side of the World and Suddenly I See. The album’s releasecatapulted her to a global audience and KT’s enduring artistry has continued to grow to this day. The BRIT and Ivor Novello award-winning and Grammy nominated artist has built a devoted fan base through her musical creativity and sparkling songwriting talents.   

Brandi said: “Me and KT have been besties for years. KT used to let me follow her around and open shows for her in the early 2000s – I was in total awe of her musicianship and charisma and I am now more than ever! She’s an absolute blast and a brilliant artist. These shows are going to be explosively joyful, soulful and centered in a long friendship. It’s been a long time coming and I can’t wait to see what we’re going to cook up for everyone.” 

KT said: “Witnessing Brandi achieve what she has after becoming friends and playing together over 15 years ago, has seriously been one of the most enlightening and extraordinary things I have experienced. I am so thrilled to join her on ‘The Human Tour’ adventure in the UK and Europe, honoured to help celebrate this incredible new album she has created…and make some JOY NOISE!!”
