With a reputation for transformative live shows, a chart-topping debut album and over 200 million global streams to date, alt-folk/rock Irish trio Kingfishr have become one of the most talked-about new acts on the planet. Powered by rousing hooks that spark mass singalongs at sold-out shows across Europe, North America, and their native Ireland, the trio have spent the past year scaling new heights. Now it’s Australia’s turn.
Having shared stages with Bruce Springsteen, James Bay, Dermot Kennedy, George Ezra, Tom Walker and Snow Patrol, and performed at festivals including Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, Electric Picnic, Isle of Wight and Rock Werchter, Kingfishr’s rise has been built on the strongest of foundations: word-of-mouth fervour by fans who quickly embraced the group’s soaring, emotive songs, rousing live performances, and distinctive blend of Irish storytelling with widescreen indie-pop hooks.
Built on lead singer Eddie Keogh’s raw baritone vocals, soaring climaxes and introspective slow-burners, the album cemented the band’s reputation and stands as a striking statement of intent from a group that bridges the dynamics of contemporary indie-rock with the soul of their traditional roots.
