David Gray « Past & Present Tour »

David Gray brings his Past & Present Tour to The SSE Arena Belfast on 16 June 2026. His songwriting threads folk rock, alternative roots and understated electronics, moving from guitar-led beginnings to piano pieces ported by a distinctive, textured voice. The set surveys his catalogue, from A Century Ends, Flesh and Sell, Sell, Sell through White Ladder, the record that reshaped his sound with spare keys and subtle programming. Babylon, This Year’s Love and Sail Away remain touchpoints, alongside later chapters like A New Day at Midnight, Life in Slow Motion, Draw the Line, Foundling, Mutineers, Gold in a Brass Age and Skellig.

On scène, Gray a l’habitude de réduire les arrangements pour mieux les reconstruire en couches, en gardant les mélodies au premier plan sans perdre l’ancrage acoustique. Le principe du tour est simple et clair: revisiter les titres d’hier, donner de l’espace aux morceaux récents et relier, en filigrane, les différentes périodes d’une écriture qui continue d’évoluer.
