Dermot Kennedy
Multi-platinum singer/songwriter Dermot Kennedy today announces his largest headline tour to date. The landmark tour will see Dermot play at first direct bank arena on 02 June 2026. The show will feature favourites spanning Dermot’s discography, along with new material to be released in 2026.
Fans across Yorkshire and beyond will have the chance to witness an artist whose emotional intensity, poetic lyricism, and raw vocal power have made him one of the most compelling performers of his generation. As part of his monumental new tour, the Leeds show is expected to deliver stunning production, intimate storytelling, and a setlist blending beloved hits with unreleased tracks that tease the next chapter of his career.
Supporting Dermot on this special night will be rising folk duo Amble, whose heartfelt harmonies and rich acoustic sound have been winning over audiences nationwide. Their inclusion promises an unforgettable evening of authentic, soul-stirring music from start to finish.
