Albert Hall, 22 May 2026
Glen Hansard returns with his full band for an unforgettable evening of songwriting and storytelling
Widely regarded as one of Ireland’s most compelling musical voices, Hansard is celebrated for live performances that are “heartbreaking, bewitching, and intimate” (Hot Press), delivered with a voice that can be both raw with passion and tender with regret (The Irish Times).
From his early days busking on the streets of Dublin to fronting The Frames and achieving global acclaim with the Academy Award-winning Falling Slowly from Once, Hansard’s career has been defined by emotional honesty and musical depth. This special performance forms part of a brand new European tour, supporting an exciting new project soon to be announced.
