Nessa Barrett – announces a headline show at National Stadium, Dublin

Following the release of her third studio album Tough Love, rising singer/songwriter Nessa Barrett announces a headline show at National Stadium, Dublin for Tuesday, 2nd March 2027!

Continuing a bold creative chapter, the darkly enthralling and undeniably ascendent Nessa Barrett will launch her biggest European headline run yet, the “Tough Love Tour,” in 2027. Canvasing the EU and the UK for four weeks, it kicks off on March 2 at National Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. From there, this jaunt visits Manchester, Glasgow, and London before reaching mainland Europe on March 12 with a show at Olympia inParis, France. It concludes on March 25 at Velky Sal Lucerna in Prague, CZ.

The full confirmed itinerary can be found below.

O2 Priority/Partner Presales commence on September 30 (tomorrow) at 10am local time. Artist/Local Presales follow on Thursday October 1 at 10am local time. Finally, general on-sale goes live on Friday October 2 at 10am local time.

Nessa returns to the road in support of her acclaimed third full-length studio album, Tough Love. Beyond amassing tens of millions of streams, it has earned widespread praise thus far. KERRANG! marveled at how,

“It’s an album that could easily come with a moodboard, filled with black lace, velvet and Polaroid photographs. ”EUPHORIA.raved, “it’s one of her most cohesive, yet experimental, records to date,” going on to applaud, “Barrett combines guitars, trip-hop textures, and several more elements to bring the 11-track project to life.

”Of course, fans were initially treated to a pair of Tough Love singles. August brought “Bad Girls Never Die,” a shimmering, strings-backed rallying cry for anyone who isn’t afraid to live free and get dirty. Before that came “Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die, ” an outlaw lovers’ anthem that earned praise from EUPHORIA(“urgent”) and Kerrang!(“darkly romantic”).

Tough Love follows Nessa’s acclaimed spring EP, Jesus loves a primadonna, which grew out of experimental sessions with Baran and Arthur as they searched for the sound of her next LP. A hypnotic mix of moody rock, trip-hop soundscapes, and haunting vocals, that 8-song project launched a trio of enthralling singles: “High On Heaven,” which likens love to a powerful drug; the jarringly vulnerable “Stay With Me”; and the eerie filmic fantasy “Buffalo 66,” which arrived alongside a dramatic music video starring The Neighbourhood frontman Jesse Rutherford.

The new album arrived shortly after Nessa wrapped the EU/UK leg of The Neighbourhood’s The Wourld Tour — where she played several Tough Love songs — and ahead of the U.S. arena run, which picks up on November 10 at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena and wraps up on December 4 at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA.

After being named to Billboard’s “21 Under 21” list twice, collaborating with the likes of Whethan, and duetting her own song “american jesus” with Lana Del Rey on stage, Nessa Barrett has amassed nearly 3 billion global streams and over 27 million followers across social platforms. With Tough Love, she displays the irrepressible confidence of a star in her prime, diving headlong into danger and coming out with her most bewitching music to date.
