Chance Peña – announces Limelight Belfast show

Following the release of his second studio album, When I Change My Mind I Don’t Mean It, The Texas artist and producer has announced details of his 2026 world tour, which includes a show in the Limelight, Belfast on May 13th 2026. 

Born and raised in East Texas, Chance Peña is a 25-year-old artist, songwriter, and producer whose music bridges traditional storytelling with modern sonic influences. After signing with Secret Road Music Publishing at 17, he quickly gained traction with early placements like “Up, Up & Away” in the film Five Feet Apart and later earned a Grammy nomination for co-writing John Legend’s song “Conversations in the Dark.” Peña has since released three EPs, numerous singles, and his 2024 debut album Ever-Shifting, Conti)nual Blossoming, amassing over a billion Spotify streams to date and selling out tours across the US, UK, and Europe. He’s collaborated with artists across various genres, from working with KYGO and Julia Michels on 2024’s “Louder,” to joining country-rock singer/songwriter Sam Barber for the duet “Better Than the Floor.”

Peña’s work radiates a contagious warmth, and his latest Columbia Records release When I Change My Mind I Don’t Mean It (2025) marks his most ambitious project yet. The 14-track album is a soul-searching collection written in a remote California cabin, steeped in the immersive indie-folk that’s made him one of the most magnetic voices to emerge in recent years. He is currently on the road supporting Tom Odell in Europe/UK and just wrapped a tour with one of his earliest influences, The Lumineers, on their 20-date Automatic World Tour. “It’s been so cool to watch the music connect with people live, and to hear them sing with me,” he says. “I like to say music is a remedy for reality, because no matter what you’re going through — whether it’s happy or sad, good or bad — you’re not alone in that.”
