Dermot Kennedy

Dermot Kennedy’s “A Promised Return” tour was absolutely incredible. His voice is just stunning in person—so raw and soulful, and in that intimate setting, you felt every single note. He really knows how to connect with people too, sharing stories between songs that made the whole thing feel less like a concert and more like hanging out with everyone there. You could tell how much he cared about being there, pouring everything into each song. It was one of those nights where you leave feeling like you experienced something truly special.

Fui desde Madrid a ver este concierto. Me gustó mucho la sala, con un aforo de unas 1.000 personas lo que hizo que se podía ver desde bastante cerca, estando incluso en el segundo (último) balcón. El sonido para mí era un poco elevado. Dermot hizo un concierto acústico espectacular, su voz es impresionante e hizo vibrar al público con ella y con sus speeches llenos de mucha sensibilidad. Es una suerte poder verle en este tipo de conciertos íntimos sin demasiada gente como ocurre en los grandes estadios!!

This is the fifth time I've seem Dermot Kennedy, he was absolutely phenomenal and it was such an amazing experience to see him in Dublin, it was another level. And for that I would give him 5 stars any day. However the sound system was terrible, it sounded like the speaker kept cutting in and out, and for the most part it sounded like it had cut out. Which meant we could barley hear him speaking and interacting with the crowd. We still heard him singing for the majority of the concert. Him as a performer is one of the best, there must have just been some technical issues on the night.

This was an amazing event. The support act RoByr ne and Conor set the scene with excellent music, singing and heartfelt chat. Dermot Kennedy gave of his all , Engaged the audience, with his outstanding music, lyrics and stories, with Benjamin Keys accompanying him . Dermot Kennedy is a legend. It was an honour to attend His fundraiser for Barretstown and Pieta House. Defo a highlight of my Christmas.

Great venue, we parked at Wintergarden Secure parking (only $10 for 24 hours) and we walked 15 mins through the city and botanic gardens and then arrived. Line moved quick, shame that people push in but hey, what can you do! Everything was quick moving, ie. check in, bag check, getting food and drinks etc. Toilets were clean and quick moving. He took a while to come on though, it looked like they had trouble with the lighting and no updates to crowd. They were handing out water in the mosh pit which was great. He was awesome and great night over all.

Dermot Kennedy is amazing every time and makes us love his music and presence on stage even more than we already do (travelled from Montreal to Quebec City for this show). He truly is an artist to see live at least once in a lifetime. My bestfriend and I are waiting on new dates to buy new tickets for another show soon. Amazing show!!

one of the most expressive and emotional concert i can ever recall attending. strong and powerful voice....just him with an acoustic guitar with an occasional piano player. the songs came across quite differently from the production in making his records and he stated he enjoyed this type of intimate performance......and naively i believe him. a sign of a good concert when he leaves you wanting more.

Dermot Kennedy was out of this world will defo see him again just AMAZING!!! The venue was so nice with Edinburgh Castle in the back and the flames lit up was stunning!! The cost of drinks however was ridiculous £8 for a can of funkin cocktail that you can get out of Tesco for £2.70 or £3.50 for a bottle of water was daylight robbery!!

Absolutely incredible !! Amazing !! Dermot is so good live I was left speechless and in awe of tthis man . It really was An evening I will not forget. Getting to see him in Ireland 🇮🇪 just made the experience so much more special. Don’t forget me , Dermot no chance of that ya wee Irish 🇮🇪 legend Phenomenal night loved every second 💚☘️💚☘️

SPAC is a great concert location, but Dermot Kennedy's performance makes any concert location extraordinary. He's not like any other artist...and my third DK experience did not disappoint. The sound was great, the visuals were awesome, and the songs had everyone dropping into their hearts from the first note of "Blossom" to the last note of "Something to Someone." He invites you on a journey through the human experience, everything you've ever felt before, and a few that may be lived vicariously through the storytelling. When he urges, "Sing it!" he's really making sure no one has a passive experience. He's there with you the whole way. Some might call it "a concert"....but it always feels like so much more. He's a blessing.

was really cool to see Dermot to have a ton of energy and go all out on some songs that aren't always up beat It made it a ton of fun. had a lot of drunk people around me but its what you expect at a concert. this guy is really amazing buy tickets when he comes buy you. Its a must!!!!

Dermot Kennedy was EXTRAORDINARY! Communion Music and Sounds of Solidarity, Turkey and Syria Fundraiser at the Royal Albert Hall benefit performance on April 15, 2023 was no exception. First, he sang For Island Fires and Family a cappella. Each of the 5,000+ in attendance were silent, perhaps frozen by the beautiful sounds. I held my breath for what seemed like the entire 5 minutes and 92 seconds of that melodic love poem to the Aran Islands of Ireland. He continued the performance with a song he rarely performs; A Killer Was A Coward. This song is a die hard Dermot Kennedy fan favorite. Needless to say, the devoted fans, as well as, the brand new fans in this historical venue realized quite quickly the magnitude of this moment. Each audience member seemed to met this moment with silent respect and reverence. Next, he sang his autobiographical An Evening I will Not Forget. This song is what I would consider an introduction to Dermot Kennedy himself. In other words, you must know this preface song to truly understand the rest of the artist’s story. The way he presented this song was outstanding especially considering how many times he has performed it. The song was as if it was brand new. I felt every word and I felt every emotion. He designed the next song, Dreamer around his love for someone very special. Prior to the song, he stated that it is the little things in life and in love that matter, not necessarily the grand gestures, but instead just ‘showing up' for the one you love that truly makes a difference. The poignant song was delivered with authority and a simple beauty that can only be described as a tender love letter to the listener. The final performance of the 5 song set was the emotional ballad Innocence and Sadness. The song reflects on the loss of youthful innocence and wonder when age and responsibility mysteriously take over. Dermot provided this piece of art to the listeners at an emotional expense to himself. It was clear through his body language and micro expressions that this piece of music and poetry is privately important to his own soul and yet the yearning to share that importance with the audience was extremely profound. I have been a fan of Dermot Kennedy for years and seen countless soul moving performances- but this one poignant night provided me with an unmatched experience that will live on in my memory as one of the best nights of music ever. It was pure magic. - Meredith

Crowd was one of the weakest crowds I’ve ever seen😬you could tell that over half of them were there because of tik tok and half of them were talking over his songs as if they hadn’t paid to be there. Dermot usually has such a powerful voice but he was a bit ill so he didn’t sound as good 😞hope he’s okay now!

Absolutely amazing from the moment he stepped on stage until he left. Dermot’s voice is just unreal live. If you get the opportunity to see him - DO IT! one of the best I’ve ever been too and I’ve been to hundreds! If you think his songs and lyrics are powerful just listening to him, seeing him perform and sing them live is just something else. They hit different! Thank you Dermot!

Geweldig, ontroerend Wat kan Dermot Kennedy veel hij is zo muzikaal Een ook aandacht voor zijn fans, hij staat niet de hele tijd te kleppen maar is vriendelijk en vertelt genoeg. Wanneer het dreigde mis te gaan door aso gedrag van een bezoeker zag hij het gelijk Hij is gelijk gestopt met spelen, petje af En na alle ophef de draad weer oppakken en het liedje opnieuw starten ❤️ Trots op mijn landgenot , one of Ireland’s finest in a new generation of Irish artists

The concert was absolutely amazing! The visual effects and stage show was brilliant, and Dermot is a star. Music and stage show matched and made it a very special experience. The only thing making the experience slightly less good was; venue was a bit confusing when it came to seating, and we struggled to find our seats even with them from staff. There was also a long waiting time between Meet & Greet and the warmup act. Would’ve loved to know that we could leave the place and come back in time for the warmup, or that they would’ve have a nicer lounge / seating area to spend the time in the venue.

First time seeing Dermot live. The only disappointing thing is that he was on tour with Shawn Mendes (though I was pleasantly surprised by this young heart-throb and the entire arena of precious, screaming 13 year old fangirls). Would have done anything to get an entire show with this incredibly talented human. I spent a good portion of the show, in tears. Completely moved by the way this offering calls forth the depths of ones emotional self and soul. I cannot wait to see Dermot Kennedy again!

This was the first time I have seen Dermot live and loved every minute of his performance . His powerful and soulful voice held the audience right from the start. I feel so privileged to have seen him on the first leg of his long-overdue Australian tour. Melbourne and Sydney get ready to have your socks knocked off!

Seeing Dermot was absolutely fantastic sharing the experience with my 2 boys was just amazing. Dermot is so talented his voice sounds exactly the same live as it does in a recording studio. I had the pleasure of seeing him play on his 28th birthday in Liverpool. Hear is hoping Santa is good to me and brings me tickets for Manchester in March.
