Dave Lofts | LIVE

Irish singer-songwriter Dave Lofts has announced an extensive tour of Ireland, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia, continuing his remarkable rise that has made him one of Ireland’s most promising and talked-about artists.

With his raw, anthemic storytelling and indie-folk sound, Lofts is often musically compared to a young Van Morrison and the authentic soul of Paolo Nutini. Through songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable, he has earned a reputation for honest songwriting and electrifying live performances, building an extremely loyal fan base both online and on stage.

Dave’s story is just as down-to-earth as his music. As a former member of the Irish Armed Forces, he brings a unique life experience to his songwriting that lends his songs added depth and authenticity. This special connection with his audience is evident not only in his rapid streaming success—with over 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify—but also in his impressive live track record. He sold out 25 consecutive headlining shows in Ireland and completed his first, completely sold-out UK tour in April, with performances in London, Manchester, and Glasgow.

As a live artist, Dave has already shared the stage with acts such as Gavin James, Wolf Alice, Picture This, and Kingfishr; standout performances at the Electric Picnic and All Together Now festivals have further cemented his reputation as one of Ireland’s most exciting new talents.

To coincide with the tour announcement, Dave will release his highly anticipated “Holy EP” on July 31, which is set to mark the beginning of an important new chapter in his career. Numerous festival appearances, headlining shows, and in-store performances are scheduled for the rest of the year.
