Dermot Kennedy at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill

Musical Magician

He’s the Irish singer-songwriter that has been tantalizing the ears, heart, and soul with hits such as Outnumbered, Power Over Me, Giants, Paradise, and Better Days for the past seven years; he’s the performer with the distinctive raspy, powerful voice that cuts through bone and soul; he’s the heart-rending storyteller that takes every audience member with him on a rollercoaster ride of emotional depth. He’s not just a musician - he’s a musical magician that draws you in, captivates, and mesmerizes without fail. 

The Weight Of The Woods Tour

Dermot Kennedy has just announced a massive North American tour for 2026, with stops at all the major amphitheatres across the United States and Canada. This news comes hot on the heels of the release of his third studio album The Weight Of The Woods, and is slated to kick off shortly after an outing to Europe and the United Kingdom. The The Weight Of The Woods tour is scheduled to kick off in early September 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with stops in Maryland Heights, Toronto, Washington, Syracuse, Charlotte, Atlanta, Irving, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Portland, among others, on the cards, before wrapping up at the end of October 2026 in Vancouver, British Columbia. 

The X-Factor

Anybody who has experienced Dermot Kennedy live in concert before, will agree that he has that really special thing that can make the largest venue feel intimate. From the deep connection he forms with every audience to his raw passion, from his incredible intensity to the personal reflections shared in poignant stories, he pierces through any obstacle, straight into the soul. His incredible and powerful voice carries the weight of the deep meaning of every song - from the intensity of Lost to the passionate Innocence & Sadness, from the fan-favorite Something To Someone to the singalong anthem Outnumbered. To get to the point: Dermot Kennedy is the one artist you deserve to see and experience this year. 

Special Guest

Dermot Kennedy will be joined on tour by Georgia-hailing singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Jonah Kagen, best known for hits such as God Needs The Devil and Save My Soul.
