Loreena McKennitt has announced a nine-country, 30-concert European tour for spring 2027, the third leg of her ongoing Mask and Mirror Anniversary Tour celebrating her landmark 1994 studio album ‘The Mask and The Mirror.’ That run launches February 22 in Groningen, The Netherlands and closes April 3 in Paris, with dates across Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.
‘The Mask and The Mirror’ is one of the defining albums of McKennitt’s career, a cross-cultural pilgrimage weaving Celtic, Spanish, and Moroccan influences into something that has sold over two million copies worldwide. The LA Times described it on release as “music full of somber depths, spiritual longings and age-old echoes.” McKennitt herself calls it “a historical and musical pilgrimage,” and the tour’s reception has matched that weight. The first European leg in summer 2024 sold out multiple nights and required additional shows to be added due to demand.
Each performance on the tour is structured in two sets: the first featuring fan favourites, the second performing every song from the album in order. McKennitt is joined throughout by Caroline Lavelle on cello, Brian Hughes on guitar, Hugh Marsh on violin, Dudley Phillips on bass, and Robert Brian on drums.
Before the European run, the second leg of the anniversary tour comes to Eastern Canada this fall, opening October 13 in Moncton, NB and closing November 2 in Montréal. A Toronto date at Massey Hall on November 1 is also confirmed, with the LM Community Presale opening April 22 at 10AM ET using presale code “harp.”
