ShareGlobally acclaimed modern Irish folk trio Amble have announced a major UK headline tour for September and October 2026. The seven-date run marks the band’s biggest UK headline shows to date and follows a phenomenal period of international growth for the band, whose emotionally resonant song writing and captivating live performances have seen them become one of the most exciting new acts in contemporary folk music.
Kicking off at Sheffield’s Octagon on September 28th, the tour will see the band travel through Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Nottingham and Cardiff before culminating with a landmark headline show at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on October 8th.
Amble’s busy schedule follows a phenomenal 2025 in which they toured US arenas with Hozier, amassed 151 million global streams, sold 130,000 headline tickets, and released their debut album Reverie – the chart-topping, number one Irish album and Spotify’s most-streamed album of the year in Ireland.
Featuring fan favourites including Lonely Island, Mary’s Pub, and Schoolyard Days – whose videos have all surpassed 1.7 million views apiece – the album picked up praise from NPR, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, and more, while igniting a dedicated and rapidly expanding global fan base.
Amble are lead vocalist and guitarist Robbie Cunningham, mandolin and bouzouki player Ross McNerney and guitarist Oisin McCaffrey. Only three years ago, Amble were playing small clubs and local pubs after leaving behind careers as school teachers and a data scientist in rural Western Ireland. Since then, their captivating live energy and heartfelt song writing have carried them from local venues to international stages, with their remarkable growth speaking to the inherent power and emotional resonance of their soul-stirring music.
