After two sold out shows last year in Ormeau Park, Dermot Kennedy is pleased announce a return to Belfast with a new Belsonic headline show on Thursday 23rd June 2022 👏

His last Belsonic performance, in September 2021, was incredible!

One of Ireland’s biggest success stories, Dermot has released a brand new version of top 20 single ‘BETTER DAYS’ featuring Grammy Nominated hip hop duo EARTHGANG last week.

Since its release it has amassed over 100 million streams, has trended on TikTok with over 250,000 creates on the platform and the official music video has over 8 million views!

At the end of last year Dermot put on charity performances in both the U.S. and his native Ireland.

On December 11th, he surprised fans with an impromptu busking event in the heart of New York City at Washington Square Park to benefit MusiCares. Playing a no-frills solo acoustic set that was live streamed on his Instagram and TikTok 👇

Following this, he then made a triumphant return home to Dublin where he performed two shows per night on December 13 & 14th at the 3Arena.

All profits went to benefit Pieta, a nonprofit organisation with suicide and self-harm crisis centres and locations across Ireland, and Focus Ireland, a nonprofit organisation working to end homelessness. The shows raised a near combined total of an incredible $300,000, a fitting way for the platinum-selling artist to pay it forward at the holidays, coming full circle from where he got his start busking on the streets of Dublin.

2022 will be a significant one for Dermot; with new music on the horizon he will be playing a number of huge outdoor dates across Ireland throughout June and is also confirmed to support Shawn Mendes on the first leg of his 2022 North American ‘Wonder The World Tour’.
