Cian Ducrot – announces three large Irish summer shows for July in Belfast / Dublin / Galway

Cian Ducrot returned to Dublin to close out The Dream Ship Tour with a completely sold-out night at the 3Arena, and it felt like a true celebration — of music, of home, and of the journey that brought him back to this moment.” – McGig Music 

Grammy Award winning Irish songwriter Cian Ducrot is pleased to announce a return to Belfast / Dublin & Galway with his biggest NI headline show to date at Custom House Square on Thursday 02nd July Summer Series events, Trinity Summer Series, Trinity College Dublin on Friday 3rd and the Heineken® Big Top on Sunday 26 July 2026 alongside special guests.

Cian Ducrot knows that talent isn’t enough to succeed in the music industry – you need determination, as well. Fortunately, he has both qualities in spades. The Irish musician was one of the biggest breakout stars of 2024, and his phenomenal ascent is only set to continue this year. His achievements to date – A No 1 album, two Top 20 singles, countless viral videos, star collaborations and a sold-out headline tour – are testament to his unique sound and relentless ambition. Victory, the name of his critically adored first record, is apt. Ducrot is here to win.

His eagerly anticipated second album, Little Dreaming, is a beautifully cohesive work that invites listeners to travel with him on a journey of self-discovery. Put together with a tight-knit group of trusted collaborators, it sees him showcase a dazzling Seventies and Eighties sound – influenced by greats such as Elton John, Michael Jackson and Queen – all the while baring his soul through heartfelt, authentic songwriting.

“This album has been a crazy journey, it was an absolutely amazing experience,” Ducrot says. “I set out to just be as creative and as free and as expressive as possible, and I think we’ve done that. It’s not an overstatement to say making the record has changed my life.”

Ducrot’s naturally candid nature has already endeared him to millions of fans, who have been moved by his triumph over adversity – from childhood trauma to an (at first) indifferent music industry.
