Kingfishr announces three Irish gigs next summer
The Limerick-based trio, consisting of lead singer Eddie Keogh, guitarist Eoin 'Fitz' Fitzgibbon and Eoghan 'McGoo' McGrath on banjo, is set to play to 50,000 fans over three concerts.
The band, known for their grand, atmospheric sound and catchy melodies, have quickly risen as one of Ireland's most promising acts, appearing at Glastonbury, Electric Picnic, and Reading & Leeds festivals.
Known for their hit single Killeagh, they've built a loyal following with 1.7m monthly Spotify listeners.
The group today announced they will play at the SSE Arena in Belfast on June 9, followed by shows at Virgin Media Park in Cork on June 12 and at Malahide Castle in Dublin on June 13.
It comes as Kingfishr will release its long-awaited debut studio album Halcyon on August 22.
Fans who pre-order the album through the band's official store by midday on Monday, August 11, will gain first access to a pre-sale for tour tickets, opening at 10am on Tuesday, August 12.
Meanwhile, Mastercard cardholders will have special access to Mastercard presale tickets, starting at 10am on Wednesday, August 13, and lasting until 10am on Friday, August 15.
Tickets for all three gigs will go on general sale at 10am on Friday, August 15, via Ticketmaster. Prices range from €59.90 to €69.90 for Cork and Dublin shows, subject to Ticketmaster charges.
The next opportunity for fans to catch Kingfishr live this year will be Limerick's sold-out Live at the Docklands show on August 22.
Following the release of their album, the trio sets off on an intimate album launch acoustic tour, with shows in Limerick, Cork, and Dublin later this month.
They will also have a North American run split between headline shows and gigs as a guest to Dylan Gossett.
Kingfishr will kick off their Halcyon tour across Europe in November, concluding with two sold-out headline shows at the 3Arena in Dublin on December 18 and 19.
The band, which blends Irish music with contemporary folk, pop, and indie, released one live album to date in 2024, Live from Dublin, which hit Ireland's top 5.
