Dermot Kennedy on course for third No.1 album in the UK with The Weight of the Woods
"The feedback to this album has been absurd," wrote Dermot Kennedy. "It's been the most beautiful thing and I'm so grateful and happy to see how much you guys like it."
Dermot Kennedy is on course for a third No.1 album in the UK with The Weight of the Woods, which was released earlier this month.
The Dublin singer-songwriter is expected to achieve a hat-trick of chart toppers with his third record, predicted to follow his 2019 debut album, Without Fear, and his 2022 sophomore album Sonder, to the top of the UK chart.
The Weight of the Woods was released on April 3, but unveiled on March 21 at a special event for fans at Beyond the Trees Avondale in Coillte's Avondale Forest Park, Co.Wicklow. There, fans listened to the LP in full for the first time.
The event also included a surprise live performance from Kennedy, accompanied by Maynooth University Chamber Choir, which featured in the video released in February for ‘Refuge’ live from Glenmaroon, Dublin.
Kennedy will head out on his biggest headline UK and Europe tour to date, which will end with two shows in Ireland, at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on July 11 and 12. Following his UK and Europe tour, Kennedy will tour in North America.
