Award-winning Irish musician Hozier is taking to the road again with news of his highly anticipated first UK tour in four years. Together with his band, the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum singer and songwriter will perform headline dates across the UK this summer. His appearances will include four major outdoor shows at Glasgow, Manchester, Cardiff and London, as well as a concert on Sunday 9 July at Birmingham O2 Academy . In honour of his birthday, which appropriately coincides with St Patrick’s Day, Hozier has also released his new EP Eat Your Young, which features three new songs – the title track, All Things End, and Through Me (The Flood). He is continuing to work on further music, with his third album, Unreal Unearth, set for release later this year.

Driven by the thought-provoking quintuple-platinum anthem Take Me To Church, Hozier’s self-titled full-length debut bowed at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 (the second biggest debut album of the year) and went on to achieve triple RIAA Platinum status. It enjoyed nine weeks at number 1 in his native Ireland (including spending an incredible 441 weeks in the Irish Top 50 charts). Indeed, the album rose to no. 3 in the UK ahead of his third sell-out UK tour, while both Take Me To Church, and Someone New were singles from the album.

The follow-up to Hozier’s debut album, Wasteland, Baby! was released to massive critical acclaim in March 2019, entering the US Billboard Top 200 Chart at #1 . The album’s 14 tracks (all original Hozier compositions) marked a major development in his songwriting and subject matter, with the most obvious being his enlightened assessment of the global socio-political landscape. The multi-platinum selling album included the single Nina Cried Power.

Last year Hozier teamed up with God of War: Ragnarok’s composer, Bear McCreary to write the song Blood Upon The Snow, which was featured in the soundtrack for the game. The same year he also released Swan Upon Leda. In a statement shared alongside the release, the star explained that he was sharing the track as a way of showing “solidarity” with those fighting for reproductive rights. With over 22 billion global streams, numerous platinum album certifications, multiple award nominations and wins, Hozier is recognised as one of the foremost singer-songwriters of our generation.
