The 29-year-old, who has amassed 2.8 million followers on TikTok, was previously forced to cancel his last set of live shows in November 2022 due to mental health issues. Robert has openly revealed his personal challenges, and touches on mental health and wellbeing through his songs.

On his TikTok fame, Robert told Hot Press in a previous interview that "it’s the most interactive social media platform" he's come across.

“I can stick up little snippets of new songs and get feedback, to see if people would like them. That’s been very helpful. And it also translates over to Spotify really well. If someone likes a song you’re after putting up and you put a link in your bio, they will click through."

Fans can expect packed shows for Robert's seven upcoming gigs. Robert is also playing at Forest Fest in Emo Village, Co. Laois in July.

Tickets for the singer's upcoming gig will be available from 10am tomorrow, and can be purchased here.
