After a sold out run of dates last year, Secret Sounds is excited to announce that Irish singer and songwriter Dermot Kennedy is set to return to Australia this year. With latest album Sonder in tow, Dermot’s The Sonder Tour will grace stages in Melbourne and Brisbane along with a very special show at Sydney Opera House Forecourt.
From busking on the streets of Dublin to selling out stadiums around the world, Dermot has won over fan after fan with his passionate and burning lyrics that speak truth and honesty, delivering compelling music from the heart that connects with people across the globe. He exudes authenticity, both onstage and in his songs.
Dermot spent three years working on his latest release Sonder, writing the 13 songs on the album while he was riding the success of his debut album Without Fear, which has since sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. Sonder has songs full of brilliant one-liners, lyrics that make you think, vocals that soar and stories of love and life that hit you deep in the gut.
A platinum-selling artist in over 12 countries with his songs “Outnumbered,” “Power Over Me,” “Paradise” with Meduza and “Power” with Kevin Gates achieving platinum status in the U.K. and gold status in the U.S., Dermot’s track “Paradise” has been streamed over half a billion times while “Giants” is another platinum effort for Dermot in the U.K. He has, to date, amassed nearly 4 billion streams and Without Fear holds the title of Ireland’s best-selling debut album of the millennium.
Adding to the list of his achievements, Dermot was nominated for International Male Solo Artist at the 2020 Brit Awards. Grammy Award-winning artist Dua Lipa also selected him to perform at her livestream concert, Truly Inspired Presents: Dua Lipa Live! Even Taylor Swift calls herself a fan!
Recent live highlights include a worldwide Arena tour, with shows at iconic venues from London’s O2 to NY Madison Square Garden, followed by two sold-out hometown shows to 80,000 fans in Dublin’s Marlay Park alongside a record-breaking three sold out nights in Limerick’s Thomond Park. Festival spots include a huge crowd at Glastonbury and in August Dermot will headline London’s All Point East Festival.
With limited tickets available for these shows, fans will need to get in quick, presale begins 9am local Thursday 3 August.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
