Janet Devlin announces 2021 UK & Ireland 'Confessional' Tour

Tickets for the tour will go on sale on Monday, November 30.

Tyrone native Janet Devlin has announced a September 2021 tour following up the release of her latest 2020 album 'Confessional'. It's her first tour since 2016 and tickets are on sale since today, 9 AM.

Devlin will be playing with her regular live band plus a number of special guests which are yet to be announced, so stay tuned! Fans can expect debut performances of tracks from 'Confessional', a few yet to be released songs, originals from her back catalogue and definitely the odd fan-favorite cover. Concert-goers will also be able to experience Janet’s mobile ‘Confessional’ booth and share their confessions (anonymously!).

Commenting on the tour dates, Devlin said: 'I absolutely can’t wait to be hitting the road again in September 2021. By then it will have been five years since I’ve done a full national tour and I can’t begin to explain how much I’ve missed it! Releasing ‘Confessional’ during lockdown meant all my live in-person promo and shows just couldn’t happen. This was so heart-breaking for me, because singing live is one of my favourite parts of this ‘job’! There’s nothing more awesome than playing new music for people and being able to see and hear their reactions. I’m hopeful that by September next year the world will be somewhat normal again or will have adapted to whatever ‘normal’ is - I’m just so pumped for live music again and to see everyone’s lovely faces!'

In the past few months, as well as releasing the final music video for Better Now from her 'Confessional' album, Devlin also released a surprise EP called 'Versions of Better' with a number of reimagined versions of the track. The EP was followed by a special Halloween live stream on StageIt which outsold any of her previous shows on the platform, and reinforced her place as one of their top selling performers.

Quite recently, Devlin has also featured on a duet with legendary with legendary pop vocalist Engelbert Humperdinck on a version of Elvis Presley’s classic ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’. Her OK!Good Records label mate’s festive EP was released 20^th November, and is available to stream on all major music platforms.

Tickets for the tour are on sale since today 9 AM.
