What's confirmed vs. what's still coming

Why this tour matters, for context

Damien Rice tours selectively and intermittently, which is exactly why this announcement landed so loudly. His debut album O was released in February 2002 — written, recorded and produced at home with money from a loan provided by his father that did not need to be repaid if the record was finished, and featuring singer Lisa Hannigan and cellist Vyvienne Long. The record became one of the most influential singer-songwriter albums of its era: singles like "The Blower's Daughter" and "Cannonball" have since clocked up hundreds of millions of Spotify streams, and artists including Ed Sheeran have cited it as an early influence.

Since O and its follow-ups, Rice has never been a constant road presence. He works in long creative cycles and has kept a deliberate distance from the standard album-tour treadmill, so a full multi-continent tour is a rare event for his fans. The 2027 trek is his most ambitious run in years: 32 shows across Australia, Asia, Europe, the UK, South America and North America, branded around the 25th anniversary of the record that made him.

The itinerary itself tells the story of where his audience lives now — from two nights at the Sydney Opera House and double bills in Amsterdam, London and Manchester, to a single Canadian date at Toronto's Massey Hall on May 15 and a US closer at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. With two more cities still to be announced, the routing may yet extend further.
