Dermot Kennedy has announced a second headline show at Dublin's Aviva Stadium next year.

Due to high demand for his now sold-out summer gig at the venue on 11 July 2026, the Dublin singer-songwriter has added an extra date on the following evening, 12 July.

Tickets for the extra date are on sale now. Prices start at €81.25 and range up to €111.25, excluding fees.

Kennedy is currently touring North America with his sold-out A Promised Return show, following European dates that included two intimate nights at Dublin's 3Olympia Theatre and London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.

Kennedy, known for his powerful live performances, has previously sold out venues such as London's O2 Arena and New York's Madison Square Garden. His Aviva Stadium concert is expected to feature crowd favourites along with new material due next year.

The announcement follows the launch of MISNEACH, Kennedy's new global music festival celebrating Irish music and culture. The sold-out debut events took place in Sydney and Boston in March, featuring The Frames, Kneecap, Amble, Sorcha Richardson, The Scratch, and Mick Flannery.

Kennedy's debut album Without Fear became one of Ireland's best-selling records of the millennium. His 2022 follow-up Sonder and 2024 EP I've Told the Trees Everything further cemented his place as one of Ireland's most successful contemporary artists.
