Carsie Blanton – announces Irish tour for Spring 2026

The American songwriter and activist Carsie Blanton has announced that she will return to Ireland for a tour in April and May 2026 for dates in DublinCorkLimerickBelfastDundalkGalway and Clonakilty, presented by Turning Pirate. 
 

In recent years, Blanton has been fully adopted as one of our own here in Ireland. As a left wing artist who leans towards political songs, she writes everything from jaw-dropping love songs to heartbreakingly honest reflections of the times we live in. Her live show fits into the Irish soul, sense of humour and poetic tone as well as any home grown act. 

Blanton will also officially release the single ‘Little Flame’ this Friday, December 5th. The song features the unmistakable harmonies of Ye Vagabonds and will be on Blanton’s upcoming album, Red Album Vol. II, which will be released on January 16th 2026 – PRE-ORDER HERE.
