Dermot Kennedy will perform at Bergenfest 2026 Friday, June 12.
Dermot Kennedy has gone from busking on the streets of Dublin to filling arenas around the world. His debut album Without Fear became the best-selling debut in Ireland this century, and he has now passed four billion streams across platforms.
The 2022 follow-up Sonder cemented his position as one of the leading voices in modern pop and the singer-songwriter landscape, while the 2024 EP I’ve Told the Trees Everything showed a more stripped-back and personal side. On stage, he is known for intense, emotional performances, whether in intimate rooms or large arenas.
With new material on the way in 2026 and an extensive European arena tour, Dermot Kennedy comes to Bergenfest with a catalogue that moves effortlessly between explosive sing-alongs and goosebump-inducing moments.
