Dove Ellis has announced a UK and Ireland headline tour for 2026 – find all the details below.
The Irish, Manchester-based indie folk artist will head out on the road later this year in support of his acclaimed debut album, ‘Blizzard’, which was released last December.
It comes after the record was recently shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, alongside LPs by the likes of Paul McCartney, JADE, Nia Archives, Dave, Suede, and the War Child ‘Help(2)’ compilation.
The forthcoming run of dates is due to kick off with a show at Saint Luke’s in Glasgow on November 6. From there, Ellis will head to Leeds’ Howard Assembly Room, London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, and Dublin’s Vicar Street.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST this Friday (August 7) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, fans can access a pre-sale at the same time tomorrow (Thursday August 6) by signing up here.

NME caught Dove Ellis live at London’s Alexandra Palace Theatre in April, and gave the performance a glowing four-and-a-half-star review. It praised the musician’s “captivating voice” and “unpredictable approach” on stage.
In a four-star review of ‘Blizzard’, NME described the album as “mostly a collection of solid guitar songs, and it captures the insatiable energy that’s garnered Ellis his critical acclaim so early in his career”
It added: “Though he could push his sound to be a bit more personal, he’s already armed with a generational voice, an explorative mindset and a singular writing style. Something exciting is bound to emerge from the storm.”
Ellis also contributed to the Mercury-nominated ‘Help(2)’ charity record for War Child. He teamed up with Anna Calvi, Ellie Rowsell and Nilüfer Yanya on the track ‘Sunday Light’.
Meanwhile, Dove Ellis is set to appear at Tyler, The Creator’s takeover of All Points East in London later this month.
