Info
On November 10, 2026, Dave Lofts will perform live at the Manchester Academy in Manchester. Born in County Wicklow and based in Waterford, the Irish musician has made a name for himself on stage with well-chosen covers such as Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill and Sam Fender’s Seventeen Going Under, before asserting his own material. In his songs, Dave Lofts moves between folk, pop and soul, propelled by a husky, upfront voice and a highly melodic writing. Tell Me, Let Me Go Home, or Just A Man take the time to explore anxiety and mental health, without grand speeches, just songs that hit the mark. His journey also intersects with a tribute to Shane MacGowan with Song With No Name and a cover of Kitty during a session held in Tipperary after the Pogues frontman’s funeral. Signed to B Unique in London, he has already shared the bill with or opened for Damien Dempsey, Gavin James and Kingfishr. On stage, the acoustic element remains the anchor, with an intensity that naturally links his covers to his original repertoire.
