Gemma Hayes Celebrates Three Sold-Out London Shows Ahead of Irish Tour
By Gemma Hayes Tour
Acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes has added another milestone to an already busy year, selling out three nights in a row in London – at St. Pancras Old Church and The Lexington on September 4th, 5th and 6th.
The run of packed shows underlines the enduring appeal of one of Ireland’s most gifted and respected artists and sets the stage for her return to Irish venues this autumn.
Gemma’s Irish tour begins on Thursday 26th September at Whelan’s, Dublin, followed by Friday 27th September at Róisín Dubh, Galway, Saturday 18th October at Cyprus Avenue, Cork, and Thursday 7th November at Dolan’s, Limerick.
Speaking ahead of the shows, Gemma Hayes said:
“There’s a real poignancy for me around these upcoming shows in Ireland. They signify the end of a year-long campaign to promote my latest album, Blind Faith. I wanted to finish this tour right back where it all began in Whelans, Dublin. A venue that shaped so many of us as artists and as audience members. If only those walls could speak! I love my band so much and we have put together a setlist that spans every album. You may need earplugs for some songs!
As for what’s next, I’m experimenting with new toys in the studio and working on new songs – perhaps for an EP, who knows! My plan is not to leave it for another ten years. There’ll be some very interesting collaborations and projects over 2026. As for now, I’m so buzzed to get on that stage on Whelans again.”
Gemma will be joined on stage by her full band: Cormac Curran (keys), Éna Brennan (violin), Sam Killeen (guitar), and Ross Turner (drums).
With a career spanning over two decades, Gemma Hayes remains a captivating live performer whose music blends emotional depth with melodic beauty. From her Mercury Prize-nominated debut to a string of acclaimed albums, her live shows continue to draw in new audiences while holding a cherished place with long-time fans.
