Willow Avalon – has just announced a headline show for The Academy, Dublin

Nashville based country singer-songwriter Willow Avalon has just announced a headline Academy, Dublin show for Sunday, March 1st 2026.

Originally from Georgia and now based in Nashville, Willow Avalon’s musical journey began with her first word, “Elvis.” Raised by her mother and grandmother in a small Southern town, she grew up playing piano in church and taught herself guitar at age 12, using songwriting as both an escape and a means of self-expression.

After independently releasing her debut single Drivin’ in 2021, she quickly caught the industry’s attention, leading to a deal with Atlantic Records/Assemble Sound in 2023 and her EP Stranger in 2024. Her debut album, Southern Belle Raisin’ Hell (January 2025), cemented her as one of country music’s most compelling new voices, blending classic country, Americana, and rock influences.

She has performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and CBS Mornings, as well as festivals like Hangout, C2C, and Lollapolooza (2025), bringing her electrifying presence to global audiences. With a sharp wit and rebellious spirit, she has shared stages with legends and rising stars alike, including Zach Bryan (July 2025), Bob Dylan (June 2025), Cage the Elephant, Paul Cauthen, and Charles Wesley Godwin.

Solidified by sold out headline tours in both the US and the UK, as well as hundreds of millions of views across social content, Willow Avalon is redefining what it means to be a modern Southern storyteller.
