Fans that pre-order the album via his website by 10.00am GMT on 25th March 2025 will get access to pre-sale tickets for the tour. Tickets go on general sale HERE at 10.00am GMT on 28th March 2025.

Little Dreaming is a beautifully cohesive work that invites listeners to travel with him on a journey of self-discovery. Put together with a tight-knit group of trusted collaborators, it sees him showcase dazzling ‘70s and ‘80s-tinged sounds – influenced by greats such as Elton John, Michael Jackson and Queen – all the while baring his soul through heartfelt, authentic songwriting. Whereas Victory was a brilliant demonstration of the musician’s early potential, Little Dreaming is where he really comes into his own as a stadium-filling star.

Durcot says: “This album has been a crazy journey, it was an absolutely amazing experience. I set out to just be as creative and as free and as expressive as possible, and I think we’ve done that. It’s not an overstatement to say making the record has changed my life.”

The current single is indicative of the brighter tones and grandstand pop edge that makes Little Dreaming an essential evolution from his debut. Bouncing along a bright keyboard riff, the 27-year-old Cork native is supported by joyous vocal harmonies as he celebrates what makes us all special and unique, especially in the face of current caustic discourse. The official video features actors from two high-profile Irish TV shows: Lola Petticrew and Hazel Doupe from the acclaimed Disney+ series Say Nothing, and Chris Walley from the cult comedy The Young Offenders.

He adds: “I love how theatrical this one turned out, it feels reflective of my personality. It’s about reconnecting with your inner child but also, as an adult, doing what you want, expressing yourself and not caring what anyone else thinks. Hopefully breaking down those boundaries of toxic masculinity in the process.”

Fans adored Victory for Durcot’s willingness to unflinchingly open his heart in songs, and that quality returns as emotively as ever in Little Dreaming. They’re experiences we can all relate to, captured in his affectingly direct style: love and loss, family and friendship, community and roots, overcoming our struggles and trying to be a better version of ourselves. It was created with a trusted team of friends: Anton Göransson and Isabella Sjöstrand (RAYE), GRAMMY® winner Lostboy (Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris), Theo Hutchcraft (Calvin Harris, Måneskin), Tristan Salvati (Angèle), regular collaborator Bill Maybury (James Bay) and Will Bloomfield (The Vaccines, Alfie Templeman).

With over 1.4 billion streams to date, Cian Durcot recently won Best R&B Song as co-writer on Saturn by SZA, at the GRAMMY® Awards and just completed a UK and European arena tour as special guest to Teddy Swims. He also delivered a stunning performance of Who’s Making You Feel It as well as both national anthems at the recent Ireland v France Six Nations rugby match.

Wyatt Flores Brings Honest Heart And Sharp Style To London’s Roundhouse

On a crisp October night at London’s Roundhouse, Wyatt Flores stepped onto the stage to a roaring crowd, his name echoing around the vaulted room with a force that surprised even him. Supporting 49 Winchester on their UK run, the Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter might technically have been the opener, but from the reaction that greeted him, it was clear many had come just as much for Wyatt.

Echobelly Bring ON To Life At The Electric Ballroom – A Triumphant Celebration Of Britpop’s Enduring Spirit

It’s been three decades since Echobelly released ON, the Britpop-era gem that cemented them as one of the most vital and distinctive voices of the mid-90s. On Thursday night at London’s Electric Ballroom, the band — fronted by the magnetic Sonya Madan and founding guitarist Glenn Johansson — returned to Camden to celebrate that legacy, playing the album in full to a sold-out crowd that sang, swayed, and grinned their way through one of the most joyous nostalgia trips of the year.

Not Naïve – The Kooks Are Always Where They Need To Be At London’s O2 Arena

Brighton Indie Pop darlings The Kooks played quite possibly the biggest and best show of their 20 year career at The O2 Arena on Saturday night. A night of nostalgia, of celebration and of cementing themselves as one of the best British bands formed in the 21st century.

New Found Glory Never Miss, Only Hit At O2 Academy Birmingham

There’s something about a New Found Glory show that feels like coming home. No matter how many years have passed or how much life has changed, when those opening chords hit, you’re right back where it all started — shouting lyrics with your friends, sweaty, smiling, and completely lost in the moment.
