Acoustic Performance - limited tickets available!

Monday 23 March 2026 sees Dermot Kennedy step onto the stage at The Prospect Building in Bristol for a special acoustic performance and audience Q&A, offering fans a rare chance to see the Irish songwriter in a stripped-back setting.

LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE FROM 11AM ON 25TH FEBRUARY AS WELL AS AT ROUGH TRADE BRISTOL!

Known for his arena-sized choruses and emotionally charged delivery, Kennedy has built a reputation on blending folk intimacy with pop ambition. This show promises to peel back the production layers, leaving his voice, guitar, and lyrical storytelling to carry the evening. In a venue setting that balances scale with atmosphere, the performance is expected to feel closer to a shared conversation than a stadium spectacle.

The event also celebrates the release of his latest album, The Weight of the Woods, a record that continues his exploration of vulnerability, resilience, and wide-screen emotion. An acoustic format should give new tracks space to breathe, allowing subtle details and lyrical nuances to take centre stage.

Following the performance, Kennedy will sit down for a live Q&A session, offering insight into his songwriting process, the stories behind the new material, and reflections from his journey over the past few years. For longtime listeners and new fans alike, it is an opportunity to hear directly from an artist whose music often feels intensely personal.

Doors are scheduled for 7pm with the show expected at 8.15pm. It's open to ages 14 and over, though under-16s must be accompanied by an adult.

In a city known for its vibrant live music culture, this March date stands out as one of the more intimate and anticipated gigs on the calendar. For one night, Bristol will trade arena echoes for something quieter, warmer, and perhaps even more powerful.
