How much are Dermot Kennedy ‘A Promised Return Tour’ concert tickets?
Dermot Kennedy is throwing away all the theatrics in 2025.
This October, the Irish singer-songwriter will strike out on his ‘A Promised Return Tour’ where he’ll play intimate, stripped-down shows at major cities all over North America.
That includes a gig at the newly-opened Brooklyn Paramount on Monday, Oct. 27.
“These are the kind of shows I dreamed of before I had a career,” the 33-year-old shared via Instagram. “Just me and my lyrics, playing in quiet theatres, all of us getting what we need from the words.”
Those who have followed Kennedy’s recent output likely won’t be surprised by this development. His most recent single, “Let Me In,” is a folksy, lo-fi affair that show off his voice and guitar skills. Nothing else necessary here; just a man and his instrument.
Before the quick North American leg of the tour begins, Kennedy also has a unique gig on his 2025 tour calendar. On Sept. 6, he’ll headline South Bend, IN’s Notre Dame Stadium alongside Zach Bryan and controversial comedian Shane Gillis.
“This will be one of the last shows we announce,” Bryan wrote on Instagram about the show. “Thank you guys for understanding the boys and me taking time away from the road. Couldn’t go without having some of the most talented people I know play with me out at Notre Dame. Love you guys and feel more blessed by the day.”
If you want to attend any of these Dermot Kennedy concerts, tickets are available for all shows as of today.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one of his solo shows was $195 including fees on Vivid Seats.

Dermot Kennedy new music
Thus far, Kennedy has only released one single in 2025. The winsome “Let Me In,” which hit streaming services on March 11, is a powerful piece of acoustic rock. Evocative lyrics — “tell me who wins the war between the heart and my head/I forgot what I’m suffering for” and “I know there’s a room where I’m happy/But I can’t find the door” — match the urgency of the music to create a raw sound that sounds great in headphones and likely even better live.
If this is the first taste of what’s to come, we can’t wait to see what else Kennedy has cooking for this tour.
To hear for yourself, you can find “Let Me In” here.
