Glen Hansard has just announced his first full European tour in over four years. The award-winning Irish troubadour will be joined by his touring band and will be debuting songs from a recently completely new record along with material from his vast catalogue. Tickets go on general sale this Friday, 26th May at 10 am BST / 11 am CEST via https://glenhansard.com/tour
Known for his dynamic live shows, Hansard, like so many, navigated the pandemic by doing pop-up shows on Instagram, which turned out to be a rewarding way to stay connected to his fan base. However, it could never take the place of the real thing and Hansard is keen to grace a range of new and familiar stages this autumn.
Hansard will also be reconvening for a round of Irish tour dates in December. His December Christmas shows are the stuff of legend, always featuring a variety of surprise guests and deep cuts. These five Irish shows will close out what will have been a busy “official first year” back after a long hiatus.
Prior to touring mainland Europe this Autumn, he will be performing in Ireland with his long running band, The Frames, as they continue to celebrate over 30 years of making music. Then he will meet up again with Markéta Irglová his partner in the The Swell Season, for a tour of North America as they celebrate 15 years of ‘Once’ the movie. Together, they won the ‘Best Original Song’ at the 80th Academy Awards as well as the ‘Critic’s Choice’ award for Best Song for ‘Falling Slowly.’
Hansard recently released the single ‘Take Heart‘ which featured Irglová and was written after spending time with Ukrainian refugees in Ireland. Prior to that he joined Eddie Vedder’s band The Earthlings and was featured on the soundtrack Flag Day with Vedder and Cat Power. His new record is set to be released later this year.
