ANNOUNCE FURTHER HUGE HEADLINE SHOWS FOR 2026
INCLUDING A 20,000 CAPACITY GIG AT ST. ANNE’S PARK, DUBLIN
THE BAND WILL PLAY TO 109,000 FANS NEXT SUMMER
DEBUT ALBUM ‘HALCYON’ IS #1 IN IRELAND AND #7 IN THE UK - LISTEN HERE
Just days after their debut album ‘Halcyon’ catapulted to #1 in Ireland and broke into the UK mainstream with a #7 chart position, Kingfishr’s unstoppable rise hits yet another new peak with the confirmation of further huge summer shows for 2026.
Phenomenal ticket demand for recently announced gigs in Belfast, Dublin and Cork has led to the addition of huge Irish dates: Dublin’s 20,000-capacity St. Anne’s Park and a second night at Belfast’s SSE Arena. They’re upscaling in the UK too, with their biggest shows in Cardiff, London, Manchester and Glasgow all also added to the schedule. This time last year, the biggest venue they had headlined was Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre.
Fans who sign up to Kingfishr’s mailing list HERE will receive access to a ticket pre-sale which opens at 10am this Wednesday, September 3rd. Tickets then go on general sale here at 10am on Friday, September 5th.
