Ray LaMontagne Announces highly anticipated Trouble 20th Anniversary Tour with date’s at Dublin’s 3Olympia & Belfast

Ray’s vast catalogue spans nine full length records, chart topping radio singles, and a Grammy win, in addition to multiple Grammy nominations. Ray LaMontagne has just announced two dates in one of Dublin’s most iconic venues, the 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Wednesday 20th of May and Thursday 21st of May 2026 as part of the ‘Trouble 20th Anniversary Tour’.

March 13, 2025—Celebrated Grammy award winner Ray LaMontagne will commemorate the 20^th anniversary of the release of his seminal debut album, Trouble, with a special remastered vinyl edition. Additionally, LaMontagne will embark on the Trouble 20^th Anniversary Tour, performing the album in its entirety for the first time since its release. The tour will see stops at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Toronto’s Massey Hall, Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre and will finish with three nights in New York at Beacon Theatre.

LaMontagne reflected on the momentous anniversary in a post on his socials, sharing, “Twenty years. Two Decades. That’s a lot of water under the bridge. Every cell in my body has changed three times over in that time. I have been three times reborn. There are moments in your life when you need to place a marker. Some people think that it is brave, or fearless, to never look back. I don’t believe that. For the simple reason that if you never look back you will never see how far you have come. This year I placed a sign post: twenty years of Trouble.”

Upon the album’s initial release in 2004, Trouble saw rave reviews from BBC, who proclaimed it “A classic – listen incessantly,” echoed by NPR whopraised it as, “timeless, cathartic and uplifting…LaMontagne has a hit debut record.” Drowned in Sound named LaMontagne “an artist who you have never heard of but has the potential to change your life in a moment,” while MOJO raved, “LaMontagne is blessed with a wood-smoky Paul Rodgers-meets-Norah Jones delivery, oozing the rough-hewn sensitivity of mid-’70s Marlboro ads and Kris Kristofferson movies… He’s something special indeed.” Trouble charted on the Billboard 200 and was certified RIAA Platinum. 

LaMontagne has spent the past two decades carving a singular space for himself in modern music. In a career that has seen overflowing critical acclaim, he’s opted out of the spotlight and its accompanying celebrity in the remote hills of Western Massachusetts. The New York Times accounts, “Visiting Ray LaMontagne is like going back to another century.” His distinctive voice, described by Rolling Stone as an “impeccably weathered tenor croon,” continues to serve as a conduit for era-defining melodies and songwriting. Across nine studio albums, LaMontagne has let his songs and story speak for themselves, ringing a deep chord in the American subconscious.
