Niall Breslin and the Polaris Quartet announce Irish tour

Niall Breslin is heading back on the road with five shows across Ireland this April.

The tour announcement comes on the heels of Bressie's 2025 release, titled The Place That Has Never Been Wounded. The instrumental album meditates on mindfulness and gives listeners a sense of Breslin's spiritual side.

Watch the music video for title track 'The Place That Has Never Been Wounded' below.

The live show will incorporate elements of spoken word and visual design set to Breslin's pensive piano music. The Polaris Quartet will provide additional accompaniment.

Bressie and the Polaris Quartet continue their collaboration following their sold-out run of Irish shows late last year.

The show "is a tribute to the part of us that holds steady when the world shakes," Breslin said. "It’s a privilege to be in the room with people when they recognise that part of themselves again."

The former rugby star will begin the tour at Cork's St. Luke's on April 10. He'll make stops in Co. Louth, Sligo, and Co. Clare before a final show at Watergate Theatre in Kilkenny. Tickets are on sale now.
