Dermot Kennedy Announces Intimate 12-Date North American Tour

Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy has announced the A Promised Return Tour, a 12-date intimate North American tour set for October 2025. The tour, beginning October 7 in Vancouver and concluding October 28 in Silver Spring, Maryland, will feature stripped-down performances of both fan favorites and new material, including his recent single "Let Me In." Promoted by Live Nation, the tour aims to evoke the feeling of Kennedy's early busking days, with shows held in smaller theaters to create a close, interactive experience with fans. Tickets will be available for presale through Kennedy's mailing list starting May 21, with general sales opening May 22; the tour will use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange to keep resale prices at original face value, with some regional exceptions. Kennedy expressed excitement about returning to this style of performance, emphasizing the personal connection and lyrical intimacy he aims to deliver. The tour stops include major cities across the U.S. and Canada such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, and Brooklyn.
