The High Kings: The Power Of The People

Fresh from the biggest chapter in their remarkable career to date, The High Kings are proud to announce their brand-new Irish tour for 2027 – The Power of the People. 

The announcement follows an extraordinary run of success that has seen the band complete their biggest-ever world tour, culminating in a sold-out Australian tour and cementing their place as one of Ireland’s most successful and internationally celebrated folk acts. The momentum behind The High Kings continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, proving that folk music is not only alive and well, but thriving on a global stage. 

Over the past two years, The High Kings have reached new heights, amassing millions of streams every week, selling out venues across Ireland, the UK, North America, Europe and Australia, and introducing 

a new generation of fans to the rich tradition of Irish folk music. Their music has transcended borders while remaining deeply rooted in Irish storytelling and heritage. 

Their latest single, The Irish Roar, has become a phenomenal success story in its own right. Surpassing every previous streaming benchmark set by the band, racing past one million streams and one million video views in record time and continuing to grow daily. This underlines the extraordinary connection The High Kings have forged with audiences around the world. 

As global ambassadors of Irish folk music, The High Kings have consistently reinvented and reimagined the genre, blending timeless tradition with contemporary energy. Their recent inclusion on the soundtrack of the record breaking global box office sensation Sinners, alongside a feature on Disney’s Only Murders In The Building, has further expanded their reach and introduced their music to audiences on an unprecedented scale. 

Now, with The Power of the People, The High Kings return home to celebrate the music, stories and spirit that have defined their journey. More than a concert series, this tour is a celebration of community, resilience and the enduring power of Irish music to bring people together. 

Speaking about the new tour, The High Kings said: “At its heart, this tour is about the people who have supported us every step of the way. The music represents the power of the people, and nothing is more powerful than the human spirit. When thousands of voices sing as one, something extraordinary happens. One voice. One huge Irish roar. That’s... the Power of the People.” 

Widely hailed as one of the most exciting live acts in folk music, The High Kings continue to push boundaries while honouring the traditions that shaped them. With soaring harmonies, infectious energy and an unrivalled catalogue of songs, The Power of the People Tour promises to be their most ambitious and unforgettable Irish tour.
