New local date for Hozier this summer

from KILLARNEY ADVERTISER 31 MARCH 2023

ACL INJURY

With over 22 billion global streams Hozier, whose other shows are completly sold out, has announced a new date in Killarney this summer.

Not only will the Grammy-nominated, award-winning multi-platinum singer and songwriter, perform in Malahide Castle and The Academy, but he has announced a gig at the Gleneagle INEC Arena on June 27.

Driven by the thought-provoking quintuple-platinum anthem, 'Take Me To Church', ranked the 30th most listened to song on Spotify, the track is the 103rd song to ever achieve the rare milestone of Diamond certification and the highest certified solo Alternative single in RIAA history.

'Take Me To Church' has surpassed 2 billion streams, the only Irish artist to achieve this feat.

Hozier’s success hasn’t been confined to the UK and US with the album also achieving Multi-Platinum status in Belgium, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Ireland, Russia, Sweden, Poland, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands.

Major TV appearances have helped spread the gospel including stand-out appearances on Later with Jools, Jimmy Fallon , David Letterman, Saturday Night Live, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel, and Graham Norton. Following a year of sold out shows and festival appearances across the US, Canada, Europe and Australia, VH1 crowned Hozier 'Artist of the Year' and he received the honours 'Top Rock Artist' and 'Top Rock Songs' at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.

In addition, he scored nominations for 'Song of the Year' at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards at which he performed alongside Annie Lennox and 'Favourite Artist - Alternative Rock' at the American Music Awards.

He won BBC 'Song of the Year' and the coveted Ivor Novello award for 'Song of The Year'.

As Hozier prepares to release his third album 'Unreal Unearth' in 2023, his 3-track EP 'Eat Your Young' was released on March 17 in honour of his birthday and St. Patrick’s Day.

Tickets for Hozier went on sale yesterday morning (Thursday).
