Revered artist Loyle Carner is set to perform across a select number of very special summer 2024 live dates, further cementing his status as an inimitable live performer, beginning at Dublin’s Fairview Park on June 30th 2024 and taking in dates across Halifax, Manchester and Glasgow.

A pre-sale mailer goes out to fans on Tuesday 24th October 2023 at 6pm, with a Loyle Carner fan pre-sale (mailing list) on sale Wednesday 25th October at 10am and General tickets on sale Friday 27th October at 10am.

The news follows a sold-out show at the historic and beloved Royal Albert Hall earlier this month where Carner’s decorated discography was reimagined to a rapturous response from fans and critics. An incomparable live-performer and creative virtuoso, Loyle Carner, armed with a show stopping array of guests and an electrifying live-band, joined the ranks of star-studded performers that have appeared at the iconic venue over the past century.

The incredible live trajectory has seen Carner grace massive festival shows and venues across the UK 2023 for a tour which sold out in minutes, with the Wembley OVO Arena in London a career standout.

This was followed by a string of packed out festival appearances over the summer, including a headline slot at Glastonbury’s West Holts stage, Primavera Sound and most recently Reading and Leeds Festival. He has sold out shows across the EU, Australia and New Zealand, currently playing the sold out US leg of his world tour.

With multiple Mercury and Brits nominations, NME Awards and appearances in global brand campaigns (such as Nike, YSL, Timberland), Carner has undoubtedly had a meteoric rise to the top, culminating with his critically lauded 2022 album “hugo” charting at number 3 in the UK album chart.

Recent album “hugo” is a 10-track compendium of urgent delivery and gloriously widescreen production, Carner confronts both the deeply personal and the highly political. Cinematic in scale and scope, “hugo” is both a rallying war cry for a generation forged in fire and a study of the personal internal conflict that drives the rest of the album – as a mixed-race Black man, as an artist, as a father and as a son.

The result is his most cathartic and ambitious record yet, a coruscating journey into the heart of what it means to be alive in these tumultuous times, and one which looks set to neatly cement his position as one of the most potent and vital young talents around today.

Working alongside renowned producer kwes. (Solange, Kelela), Carner leaves no stone unturned on this album, in both its sound and its stories. In a 10-track album that moves from gorgeous neo-soul moments to thundering hip hop, with immediate, infectious bangers and sampled interludes from non musicians (mixed-race Guyanese poet John Agard and youth activist and politician Athian Akec) Carner shifts seamlessly from micro to macro, confronting everything from strained relationships with family to the societal tears caused by class stratification.
