Dermot Kennedy announces second Aviva Stadium show

Dermot Kennedy has announced a second show at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, set for July 12 2026, after selling-out his previously announced gig (July 11).

The shows will be his biggest Dublin headliners to date and will make him the first Irish solo artist to play one, and now two, shows at the venue.

The news comes as the singer takes on the sold-out North American leg of his A Promised Return tour, having finished the European run with sold-out shows at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre and London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.

In June, the Dublin-born artist performed at Soccer Aid and played a number of gigs alongside Zach Bryan.

This year also saw the inaugural Misneach festival, held in Boston and Sydney.

The event, curated by Kennedy, came in time for St Patrick's Day and highlighted Irish acts, including The Frames, Matt Corby, KNEECAP, Meg Mac, Amble, Sorcha Richardson, The Scratch, Susan O’Niell, Cliffords, Mick Flannery, Florence Road, The Swell Season, Ye Vagabonds and Nell Mescal, as well as a headline set from Kennedy.
