Known for his passionate and powerful live performances, Dermot has graced the stages of such iconic venues as London’s O2 Arena and New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The show will feature favourites spanning Dermot’s discography, along with new material to be released in 2026.
Other recent live events for Dermot include a special half-time performance at Soccer Aid Match in Manchester, and an exciting bill with GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Zach Bryan at British Summer Time Festival, both in June. Dermot also supported Bryan in the U.S at Indiana’s famed Notre Dame Stadium on September 6th.
All of this live activity comes on the heels of MISNEACH, a new annual global music festival conceived and curated by Dermot himself. The sold-out MISNEACH festival was held in Sydney, Australia and Boston, MA in March timed to St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The joyous events successfully achieved the festival’s mission of spotlighting Ireland’s rich musical heritage and culture. The bill featured an array of both established and rising artists including The Frames, Matt Corby, Kneecap, Meg Mac, Amble, Sorcha Richardson, The Scratch, Susan O’Niell, Fynch, Cliffords Mick Flannery, Florence Road, The Swell Season, Ye Vagabonds, Nell Mescal and headline sets by Dermot.
