About
Dermot Kennedy on Tour
Folk singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy has quickly taken the world by storm, rising from a small town in Ireland to release a number of charting singles as well as work with revered musicians and producers like Glen Hansard and Mike Dean (Kanye West, Travis Scott). In 2017, the dynamic performer went on the U.S. festival circuit and played Lollapalooza, South by Southwest, Austin City Limits and Bonnaroo, making an international name for himself with his high-energy shows. The following year, he went on a world tour and played shows in the U.S., Australia and Europe, hitting Coachella and also playing an NPR Tiny Desk Concert after being voted NPR Slingshot Best New Artist of the Year. Kennedy's live shows flesh out his intimate tunes with a full band, bringing the audience fully inside his expressive songs. Kennedy's tour in 2019 took him across multiple continents as he incorporated tracks from his sophomore album, Without Fear, into his set.
Dermot Kennedy in Concert
Born in 1991 in Ireland, Kennedy was attracted to music at a young age, picking up a guitar at 10 and taking the plunge into songwriting a few years later, at 14. Before long, Kennedy was performing at open mics around Dublin; eventually he found himself busking — playing music on the street for money — in cities around the world. After high school, he studied classical music at the university level for a few years, but ultimately decided to pursue folk music. Kennedy's big break came when he won first place in a major upset at the South County Song Contest at St. Finian's GAA Club, putting him on the radar of industry professionals and singer-songwriters around the world.
After he self-published on Spotify, some of Kennedy's music found its way onto Discover Weekly playlists, which helped him get noticed by a wider audience. His first charting single, "Young & Free," reached No. 82 on the Irish Singles Chart, but his breakthrough came with 2018's "Power Over Me," which reached No. 10 on the Irish Singles Chart, No. 21 on the U.S.'s Hot Rock Songs and No. 5 on Adult Alternative. "Power Over Me" has since been certified gold. Kennedy signed to Interscope and, in January 2019, released his self-titled debut album, which hit No. 5 on the Irish charts.

Unbelievable show
by Beans on 6/13/23Budweiser Stage - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5I went into this concert not knowing a single song from him. I was amazed from start to finish!
Captivating and Powerful
by Craig K on 6/13/23Budweiser Stage - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5This was my second time seeing Dermot Kennedy (first time was 6 years ago in a very small venue) and it still blew me away how amazingly he performed. There was a nice mix of newer/older and production/acoustic. It was incredible to watch the crowd enjoy the show and be so engaged. Ive been a big fan and my wife was a casual listener before but attending the concert turned her into a fan.

Dermot Kennedy
by Peaty on 6/13/23Budweiser Stage - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5This was an amazing concert. Dermot Kennedy was outstanding, vulnerable, authentic and kind. He is incredibly talented and sounds even better live. It is an evening we will not forget ❤️
Gets better every time
by Mar on 6/13/23Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5We all benefit from Dermott Kennedy’s insight, maturation, soul. This powerfully gifted artist gets better every time we see him.
By far, the most passionate and talented artist ever!
by A Cap on 6/12/23Meadow Brook Amphitheatre - Rochester HillsRating: 5 out of 5I could never fully put into words what a Dermot Kennedy concert is like. You feel it the moment he takes the stage (actually before he appears), and days later I’m still gobsmacked from this concert. This was my third time seeing him, and each one gets better. Seeing Dermot love is an absolute must!
Amazing night
by Samantha Trevathan on 6/12/23FirstBank Amphitheater - FranklinRating: 5 out of 5Dermot Kennedy is an amazing singer. The venue is beautiful and while they had a small issue with speakers with the opening artist, they recovered quickly. Dermot has a wonderful storytelling quality to his music, and truly makes a person feel like he is singing to them personally. I would absolutely recommend Dermot Kennedy to everyone. The venue I would definitely go again.
AMAZING
by CortNP on 6/12/23Meadow Brook Amphitheatre - Rochester HillsRating: 5 out of 5This is my 3rd time seeing Dermot live. He never disappoints. The venue was perfect… small outdoor amphitheater. Loved every second!

An Evening I Will Not t
by Becca A on 6/12/23Meadow Brook Amphitheatre - Rochester HillsRating: 5 out of 5My mom & I been a longtime Dermot fans and finally got to see him together. It’s a special bond we have with his music and it was an even more special night. My mom is has MS & is handicapped and the venue was so accommodating and the staff was wonderful. I can’t truly express what a special evening this was and the a precious memory that will last a lifetime. As Dermot says it’s “an evening I will not forget”. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Absolutely Amazing!!
by Andrea on 6/12/23Meadow Brook Amphitheatre - Rochester HillsRating: 5 out of 5What a phenomenal performer! I’ve been to several good concerts previously but I’m must say he’s amazing & I could’ve listened to him sing all night. He played for more than 90+ min. I can’t wait to see him again!!! Currently already searching for the nearest city to buy repeat tickets for another show this summer. Love, love, love…
Amazing, as always!
by SG on 6/12/23Meadow Brook Amphitheatre - Rochester HillsRating: 5 out of 5This was my second time seeing Dermot Kennedy and he didn’t disappoint! Can’t wait to see him again.
10/10 Recommend
by lvstrhl on 6/12/23Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5First of all, as someone who is a HUGE Dermot Kennedy fan (I've now seen him 4 times in 4 different cities), he was amazing as usual. Northly Island was beautiful, albeit small, but it is tucked away right next to Lake Michigan, and it kept us cool in the Pit! Being shoulder to shoulder with that many strangers, typically I am SWEATING. But the breeze from the lake helped keep us cool and happy the whole time! The acoustics sounded great from the floor, and we were able to see him wherever he walked to on the stage. I cannot recommend seeing Dermot Kennedy enough - he sings to your soul, and puts every single feeling into the most articulate words. Please do yourself a favor and experience him at least once in your life. And if you can attend a concert at Northly Island Pavillion (Huntington Bank), I would suggest it highly. Great atmosphere, amazing band, sensational experience.
A wonderful night with my daughters!!!
by Kelley S on 6/12/23Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5Great Venue on Lake Michigan!!!! The Concert was one of the best we have seen!!! He is fantastic musician a memorable night for sure with my daughters!!!
Third time seeing Dermot !!
by Destinee on 6/12/23Meadow Brook Amphitheatre - Rochester HillsRating: 5 out of 5The place was amazing! The crowd was amazing! It was super easy getting in and finding where you want to sit. At the end it was easy to leave as well. Dermot Kennedy knows how to put a show on and does just that. Can’t wait to see him again!
Dermot Kennedy!
by Rjones6503 on 6/12/23Meadow Brook Amphitheatre - Rochester HillsRating: 5 out of 5The sound system was great. Not too loud or poor quality sound. The venue is clean and just the right size, felt like a more intimate venue
No One Better
by Hex on 6/12/23Meadow Brook Amphitheatre - Rochester HillsRating: 5 out of 5Dermot Kennedy puts his entire soul into his music. It comes through lyrically and in his passion, but is never seen more clearly than when he’s on stage. Watching an artist get lost in their own words is incredible because he’s really in the experience with us. I have never seen anyone better.
Magical Evening
by Concert Junkie on 6/12/23Meadow Brook Amphitheatre - Rochester HillsRating: 5 out of 5That last concert I saw before the Covid shutdown was Dermot Kennedy in Detroit. When I saw he was coming back, I just had to be there. It was such an amazing performance and his voice is incredible. Great time!
