Fresh off his debut headline Australian tour, rising Irish country artist Gareth has will return to the UK and Ireland next month as part of his upcoming The Uncut Tour, bringing stripped-back performances to cities such as Liverpool, Cardiff and Nottingham, in addition to an appearance at The Great Escape in Brighton.
The tour follows a standout 2025 for Gareth, which saw him make his debut at the world-famous Grand Ole Opry in Nashville last November. The moment marked a major milestone in Gareth’s journey from Castlederg, Northern Ireland, to the global country music stage.
Commenting on the tour, Gareth shared, “These shows are going to be really special for me. Stripping back these songs back lets the stories breathe, and that’s how a lot of them were written in the first place. Plus we are going to play a lot of unreleased music. I can’t wait to be back in the UK and share these nights with everyone in Liverpool, Cardiff and Nottingham.”
Gareth released his latest EP Bluebird, featuring a duet with Joss Stone, showcasing his blend of heartfelt storytelling and modern country influences towards the end of 2025. Last year also included his first US tour, headline shows at Ulster Hall and in his hometown, plus appearances at C2C: Country to Country and The Long Road Festival, along with touring support for Kip Moore.
