Info
On 12 July 2026 at Aviva Stadium, Dublin, Dermot Kennedy returns on home turf with a set built around his pop-folk songwriting and a voice that leans into grain and intensity. Known for Outnumbered and Power Over Me, he shapes songs that balance acoustic intimacy with subtle electronic tension and slow-burn crescendos. His debut album Without Fear (2019) opened the way to a wider audience; Sonder (2022) circles themes of vulnerability and human connection. On stage, he moves from bare ballads to fuller arrangements without losing focus on the melody and the lyric.
Amble set the tone with close-knit harmonies, fingerpicked guitars and arrangements stripped to what matters. Their folk sits between tradition and a more contemporary, indie-inclined approach, keeping tempos measured to leave room for the words. Relationships, doubt and the everyday run through their songs in a direct, unadorned language.
Aaron Rowe brings a pop-soul angle that threads R&B and gospel influences through singer-songwriter writing. First noticed with online covers, he has since pushed original singles where the voice leads, from acoustic sketches to denser pop production, with clean hooks and personal storytelling.
