Dove Ellis Reveals UK and Ireland Tour Dates for 2026

Dove Ellis has revealed plans for a headline tour across the UK and Ireland in 2026. Full information can be found below.

The Irish indie folk musician, who is based in Manchester, will begin the tour later this year to promote his praised first album, ‘Blizzard’, which arrived last December.

The announcement follows the album’s recent inclusion on the Mercury Prize shortlist alongside releases from Paul McCartney, JADE, Nia Archives, Dave, Suede and War Child’s ‘Help(2)’ compilation.

The concerts will begin at Saint Luke’s in Glasgow on November 6. Ellis will then visit Howard Assembly Room in Leeds, O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London and Vicar Street in Dublin.

General ticket sales will open at 10am BST this Friday, August 7, and purchases can be made here. Fans can also gain access to a pre sale beginning at the same time tomorrow, Thursday, August 6, by registering here.

Dove Ellis’ UK and Ireland headline tour dates are:

NOVEMBER 
06 – Saint Luke’s, Glasgow
28 – Howard Assembly Room, Leeds

DECEMBER
08 – O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London
12 – Vicar Street, Dublin

NME reviewed Dove Ellis’ April performance at London’s Alexandra Palace Theatre and awarded the concert four and a half stars. The review highlighted his “captivating voice” and “unpredictable approach” to performing.

Giving ‘Blizzard’ four stars, NME called the record “mostly a collection of solid guitar songs, and it captures the insatiable energy that’s garnered Ellis his critical acclaim so early in his career”.

The review continued: “Though he could push his sound to be a bit more personal, he’s already armed with a generational voice, an explorative mindset and a singular writing style. Something exciting is bound to emerge from the storm.”

Ellis also appeared on War Child’s Mercury Prize shortlisted charity album ‘Help(2)’. He collaborated with Anna Calvi, Ellie Rowsell and Nilüfer Yanya for the song ‘Sunday Light’.

Elsewhere, Dove Ellis will perform during Tyler, The Creator’s All Points East takeover in London later this month.
