Sombr – announces new European/UK headline dates with a date at Malahide Castle Dublin

Following a landmark year of global success, multi-award-winning, GRAMMY®-nominated superstar SOMBR today announces new European/UK headline dates for his acclaimed YOU ARE THE REASON TOUR.

The newly-announced run will bring the 21-year-old global phenomenon and his band to venues across Ireland, Czech Republic, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and the U.K. The tour opens at Unity Arena in Oslo, Norway, on 8 May 2027, and concludes at London’s iconic The O2 on 22nd June.

Tickets for the YOU ARE THE REASON TOUR will be available starting with the Artist presale beginning Wednesday, 2 September at 10AM local time, followed by relevant local pre-sales, with any remaining tickets made available during the general public on-sale starting Friday, 4 September at 10AM local time. For ticket information visit sombrmusic.com/#tour. Local pre-sales vary by market, check your local listings for more information. Subject to licence.

The European tour announcement follows the release of SOMBR’s soaring new single, “My Body Isn’t Ready,” alongside its official music video. The emotionally charged track finds him confronting struggles with self-worth and insecurity with the raw vulnerability that has become central to his songwriting.

SOMBR’s extraordinary rise since his 2025 breakthrough smash “Back to Friends” (which earned him his first Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit, reached No. 1 on Spotify’s Global and U.S. charts, spent five weeks at No. 1 on Alternative Radio, and topped U.S. Pop Radio more than a year after its release), continues on a global scale with his critically acclaimed debut studio album, I Barely Know Her, which featured record-breaking hits alongside fan and critical favourites “Undressed” and “12 to 12,” both of which reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Global 200 and the Hot 100, and his latest hits “Homewrecker,” “Potential,” and “My Body Isn’t Ready,” each have continued to cement his position as one of pop’s most compelling new voices.

Born in New York City, Shane Boose—who first found his voice in a makeshift Lower East Side bedroom studio—is the sole songwriter and co-producer of his entire catalogue. Blending indie rock with arena-sized pop, SOMBR captures the intensity of young love with a smoldering vulnerability and emotional depth that resonates worldwide.

With sold-out headline shows around the globe and even more to come, SOMBR’s YOU ARE THE REASON TOUR is set to bring his unmistakable live energy to European audiences next summer.
