This is The High Kings at a new level.
The band’s international momentum has accelerated dramatically over the past two years. Their audience has grown to more than 2 million monthly Spotify listeners, while they have recorded more than 5 million streams in a single week. Their latest single, The Irish Roar, has become their biggest streaming and social success to date, generating more than 3 million streams, 1.5 million YouTube views and 10 million social media interactions.
But it is on stage where the scale of The High Kings' rise is most obvious.
In May 2024, the band performed to approximately 30,000 people at Notre Dame Stadium, while their most recent world tour became the biggest of their career, performing to over 200K Irish music fans across the USA and 2026 will culminate in their biggest Australian tour of over 16 venues across the terrotiry. Their touring footprint now stretches across Ireland, the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, Canada and the UAE.
The 2027 USA tour arrives at a moment when The High Kings have firmly moved beyond the traditional folk circuit. Their music has reached new audiences through major cultural collaborations and screen placements, including the soundtrack of Sinners, the globally successful Ryan Coogler film, and an appearance in Disney+’s Only Murders in the Building. Their collaboration with Journey frontman Steve Perry on The Streets of Kinsale further demonstrated the band's ability to cross musical boundaries and connect Irish folk music with a much wider international audience.
Now, with The Power of the People, that momentum comes back to America.
More than a tour, The Power of the People is a celebration of the extraordinary connection between The High Kings and the audiences who have grown with them. It is built around the songs, stories and shared experience that have made Irish music resonate across generations and across continents.
