Johnluke – announces headline tour for Kerry, Dublin, Galway, Limerick

Following the release of his debut EP Comical Romance Vol. 1 and a string of standout live performances across the country, Johnluke will bring his Comical Romance Tour 2026 to Kerry, Dublin, Galway and Limerick this November.

The tour will see Johnluke return to Mike The Pies in Listowel on 12 November, followed by his biggest Dublin headline show to date at The Workman’s Club on 15 November. He will then play Róisín Dubh, Galway on 20 November, before closing the tour at The Record Room, Limerick on 27 November.

Since the release of his debut single “Already Been Told” in March 2024, Johnluke has quickly established himself as one of Ireland’s emerging singer-songwriters. A prolific run of singles has followed, including viral TikTok fan favourite “City Lovin’”, alongside “Royalty, Letters”, “Change Me”, “Green Eyes”, “Have Tonight”, “Pretty”, “Nervous” and “Could Be Dancin’”. His most recent releases have also seen Johnluke tackle more hard-hitting subject matter, including road safety on “Angry in the Moment”.

Blending pop, rock, folk and country, Johnluke’s music is rooted in storytelling, drawing from personal experiences of love and heartbreak, mental health and wider social issues. 

His debut EP, Comical Romance Vol. 1, marked the beginning of an ongoing EP series, with the next instalment set for release later in 2026. Johnluke has also been working alongside a number of established writers and producers, including Richie McCourt, known for his work with Ryan Mack, Aimee and Jazzy; Anna Krantz, whose credits include Ed Sheeran, Lyra and Cliff Richard; and John Nathaniel, who has worked with OneRepublic, Shawn Mendes and Alex Sampson.

On the live front, Johnluke has shared stages with some of Ireland’s biggest artists, performing support slots at sold-out shows and festivals including Riverfest with LYRA, Whelan’s with Mark O’Donnell, Simple Things and Jamie McIntyre, as well as opening for Paddy Casey in Galway and Hermitage Green at Luker’s, Shannonbridge.

His first headline shows with his three-piece band saw him play to a sold-out audience at Monroe’s in Galway before returning to Dublin for a headline show upstairs at Whelan’s. Comical Romance Tour 2026 will build on that momentum, taking Johnluke to four venues across the country and marking his biggest headline run yet.
