Dermot’s anticipated album The Weight of the Woods drops April 3rd on Interscope Records. Ahead of if its release, several tracks have been unveiled including most recently, “Honest,” the anthemic, passionate lead single“Funeral,” and the stunning track “Refuge.”
In the run-up to album release, Dermot recently surprised fans at intimate pop-up shows in both Los Angeles and New York City, with more up-close-and-personal shows happening currently at record stores in the UK. The fortunate attendees in the U.S. were treated to a mix of originals and thrilling covers, with NYC’s event landing fittingly on St. Patrick’s Day – watch a clip HERE. It was also just announced that Dermot will perform at the UK’s Radio 1’s Big Weekend on May 24th, alongside Olivia Dean among others on the main stage.
The Weight of the Woods was largely written and recorded at a studio near Kennedy’s home in rural Ireland, alongside close collaborator Gabe Simon [Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey]. Additional material for the album was also recorded at Simon’s studio in Nashville. Across its fourteen tracks, the album’s poetry and music draw inspiration, energy, and strength from Kennedy’s native Ireland.

Kehlani Announces the Kehlani World Tour: North America
Today, 2x GRAMMY® Award winning R&B powerhouse Kehlani announced THE KEHLANI WORLD TOUR: North America. The 33-date tour, presented by Live Nation, is set to take over stages across North America.
THE KEHLANI WORLD TOUR kicks off in North America on August 6th in Minneapolis, MN at The Armory hitting major cities including Los Angeles, New York, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas, Atlanta, and more, before wrapping up on October 3rd in San Francisco, CA at Shoreline Amphitheatre. Special guests Durand Bernarr, Isaia Huron, TheARTI$t, and WASEEL will join as support on select North America dates.
Kehlani continues her standout 2026 as her self-titled album, Kehlani, released last month, debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 69,000 equivalent album units earned – securing the biggest debut for an R&B album by a woman this year.
The project marks Kehlani’s fourth top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 and her third to land within the top 5. Across the charts, the album launches at #1 on the R&B Albums, #2 on Top Albums, #2 on Vinyl Albums, #5 on the Top Streaming Albums chart, and #5 on the Indie Stores Chart.
The album is powered by the massive success of “Folded,” which also earned Kehlani two GRAMMY® Awards this year for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song. “Folded” is also notably the longest-running #1 song in Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart history, topping the respectable chart for over 17 weeks and counting. The track continues to resonate globally, now cemented as one of her most impactful records with its 2x Platinum certification.
Kehlani marks her first full-length release since her 2024 mixtape, While We Wait 2, ushering in a new era for the artist. With continued chart dominance and cultural impact, Kehlani solidifies her position as one of the defining voices in modern R&B.
TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale beginning on Wednesday, May 27, at 10 am local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning on Friday, May 29 at 10 am local time at kehlaniworldtour.com.
