Joe Jackson announces new album and shows in Cork and Dublin

Joe Jackson has announced his upcoming studio album Hope and Fury, set to release on April 10, 2026.

To coincide with the release, the Grammy-winning artist will embark on a 2026 tour, with Irish dates confirmed for Cork City Hall on September 24 and Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on September 27.

Hope and Fury features nine new tracks recorded between Berlin and New York with co-producer Patrick Dillett.

Jackson’s long-time collaborators Graham Maby (bass), Teddy Kumpel (guitar), and Doug Yowell (drums) return, joined by percussionist Paulo Stagnaro.

The musician first gained recognition in the late 1970s with his debut Look Sharp!, before going on to explore a wide range of genres, from new wave and pop to jazz and classical.

Hope and Fury marks a return to Jackson’s signature pop sound, blending elements of funk, Latin jazz, and rock. It follows his 2019 release Fool and his 2023 project Mr. Joe Jackson Presents Max Champion in “What A Racket!”

Tickets for Jackson’s Irish dates will go on sale Friday, November 14.
