As global ambassadors of Irish heritage and storytelling, The High Kings have consistently brought the timeless tradition of folk music to audiences worldwide, earning them chart-topping success and widespread acclaim. The High Kings will cross the United States in February and March 2027, bringing their unmistakable combination of soaring harmonies, powerful storytelling, Irish tradition, and electrifying live energy to audiences across the country as part of their hugely anticipated The Power of the People Tour.
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.
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.
As The High Kings put it, “When thousands of voices sing as one, something extraordinary happens. One voice. One huge Irish roar. That’s… the Power of the People.” And America knows that roar.
With a catalogue spanning eight studio albums, a growing global audience and a live reputation built over more than fifteen years, The High Kings have established themselves as one of the most internationally successful Irish folk acts of their generation. Their latest album, The Road Not Taken, became their most commercially successful release to date, reaching No. 1 Independent Album and No. 1 Folk Album in Ireland, while also reaching No. 2 in the US Singer-Songwriter Album chart and surpassing 14 million streams.
Audiences can expect a night of massive singalongs, breathtaking harmonies, unforgettable Irish songs and the unmistakable energy that has made The High Kings one of the world's leading contemporary Irish folk acts.
