Dermot Kennedy has a new album arriving and a continent to cover. The Irish singer-songwriter releases ‘The Weight of the Woods’ April 3 via Interscope Records, and a 32-date Live Nation-promoted North American tour follows, opening September 4 at The Armory in Minneapolis and closing October 29 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.
The routing is well-constructed and ambitious. Kennedy hits Forest Hills Stadium in Queens on September 29, Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 17, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on October 19, and Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre on September 15. Jonah Kagen supports most dates, with Hunter Metts stepping in for the Minneapolis and Milwaukee shows.
Before North America, Kennedy runs a major European and U.K. tour through May and June, including two sold-out nights at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on July 11 and 12. He performed intimate pop-up shows recently in Los Angeles and New York ahead of the album drop, with similar record store appearances coming in the U.K.
Artist presale begins April 2. Fans can register through March 30 at 2 p.m. at dermotkennedy.club.os.fan/na-unlock. General on-sale is April 3 at noon local time at DermotKennedy.com.
