Dermot Kennedy has shared another song from his upcoming third album.
More urgent than his earlier singles Refuge and Funeral, the emotive Honest blends heartfelt songwriting with piano and acoustic guitar. It marks the third and final preview of ‘The Weight of the Woods’, now set for release on April 3 via Island Records, a week later than originally announced.
The BRIT Award-nominated Dublin artist will support the LP with a headline tour this spring and summer, playing his biggest shows to date across Europe and the UK, including a return to The O2 in London on June 5 and two hometown shows at the Aviva Stadium on July 11 and 12. Tickets are on sale now.
Ahead of the tour, he'll play a series of intimate out-store dates across the UK between March 23 and April 1. He was also recently announced for BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Sunderland on May 24. Tickets for all shows are on sale now.
