Loyle Carner announces new album hopefully ! and 3Arena show

Loyle Carner has announced a new album hopefully !, set for release on June 20, 2025, via Island EMI.

The South London native's fourth studio album is billed as "a life-affirming exploration of fatherhood, childhood and alternative music," underscored by a positivity and lightness of touch that result from the artist stepping out of his comfort zone.

In a series of firsts, which include singing and producing, Carner cultivates healthier boundaries, while also allowing his audience in.

Earlier this month, Carner released two tracks to introduce his new LP: 'all i need' and 'in my mind'.

The hip hop artist has also unveiled the details for his upcoming world tour, which includes a stop at Dublin's 3Arena on November 9, 2025.

First emerging with 2013’s A Little Late EP, Loyle Carner has forged a distinctive sound that blends his unswerving, diaristic lyricism with an ambitious and genre-blurring sound. He has received two Mercury Prize nominations: one for his debut album Yesterday's Gone, and another for his third LP, hugo (2022).

Having amassed 1.1 billion streams worldwide, Carner is also set to make his acting debut in Mint, a BBC drama from BAFTA-nominated Scrapper director Charlotte Regan.

Tickets for Loyle Carner's upcoming Dublin show go on sale on Friday, May 2, at 9:00am, starting from €59.90. For more information, click here.
