Leon Bridges has shared details of Leon Bridges: The Leon Tour and announced a live date at the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin on Sunday, July 20.

The six-times Grammy Award nominated Texan artist released his fourth LP, LEON last Autumn. He talked about his process and his influences for LEON in an interview with Hot Press.

His run of shows starts in London, followed by performances at Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, and Halifax's Piece Hall on July 24, before wrapping up at the Latitude Festival in Suffolk on July 26.

Before these UK/Ireland dates, Leon will perform across Europe, including at Madrid's festival Mad Cool, Cruilla in Barcelona, the Montreux Jazz Festival, Gents Jazz Festival, and a standalone headline show in Paris at Salle Pleyel.

The support act for all UK/Ireland dates will be the band Gotts Street Park.

Bridges has recently returned from Australia having played in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and will commence a North American tour through May/June.
