Due to phenomenal demand Kingfishr – add extra Belfast and Dublin for summer 2026

2025 has already been Kingfishr’s year, with a smash hit #1 single in the shape of ‘Killeagh’, ever-growing international tour dates which will close with two sold out Dublin 3Arena headline shows, and the long-awaited release of their acclaimed debut album ‘Halcyon’ on August 22nd. But big plans are also taking shape for 2026 with several sold-out shows already racked up.

There are more opportunities to catch Kingfishr live around the world before 2025, starting withan intimate album launch acoustic tour, a North American run split between headline shows and gigs as guest to Dylan Gossett, and a UK and European headline tour, before the trio bring the curtain down on the year over two nights at the 3Arena, Dublin. Please see HERE for a list of all dates.

Kingfishr have been building momentum largely under the radar since 2022, organically upscaling their headline shows and playing gigs as guests to Bruce SpringsteenGeorge EzraJames BaySnow Patrol and many more. Their unique blend of timeless Irish music with contemporary folk/pop/indie flourishes and a rousing emotional intensity has cultivated a passionate following, something first evidenced when 2024’s ‘Live From Dublin’ album hit Ireland’s Top 5. Everything exploded when ‘Killeagh’ took off – and that story was recently documented by The Guardian.
