Kennedy’s upcoming tour arrives in support of his newly released album, The Weight of the Woods, which created UK chart history as Kennedy became the first Irish solo artist to ever make it to #1 with their first three studio albums.

Largely written and recorded at a studio near Kennedy's home in rural Ireland, alongside close collaborator Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey), The Weight of the Woods features singles 'Honest', 'Funeral' and 'Refuge', which are sure to be part of his upcoming set list alongside Kennedy's fan favourites.
