Dermot Kennedy will play in the capital city's Aviva Stadium on July 11th, 2026.
The announcement comes as the multi-platinum singer/songwriter embarks on the sold-out North American leg of his A Promised Return tour, which saw him perform at Dublin's 3Olympia Theatre.
Ticket presale for the July gig will begin at 1oam on Wednesday, with general sale from 10am Friday. Prices start at €81.25, subject to Ticketmaster charges.

Tickets for the gig will go on sale on Friday from 10am with prices starting at €66.05, subject to Ticketmaster charges.
On the album, Amos said: "In Times of Dragons is a metaphorical story about the fight for democracy over tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator believing Lizard Demons’ in their usurpation of America. ”
Richard Ashcroft
Richard Ashcroft will play Dublin's 3Arena on Saturday, May 16th, 2026. Tickets for the show will go on sale on Friday at 9am.
