Michael Patrick Kelly

Michael Patrick Kelly brings his blend of melodic pop-rock, acoustic ballads and folk to Berlin: on 8 May 2026 he will take the stage at the Uber Arena. Raised in the Kelly Family, the Irish-American singer began writing songs and playing various instruments at an early age; today he is known for clear hooks, narrative lyrics and a sound that balances calm moments with big choruses. After a hiatus in the 2000s, he returned in the mid-2010s with Human, followed by iD and B.O.A.T.S — releases in which spirituality, personal experiences and social questions converge. Live, he mixes current material with songs from his longer career, some dating from when he was still known as Paddy Kelly. The focus is on the voice, the melodies and a band that carries the songs with a lean, stripped-down sound. The arrangements leave room for the stories to unfold, and the set moves from the intimate to the expansive — a signature that has shaped his performances for years.
