Damien Rice tour dates 2026

Recent tour reviews

• I love Rice’s music and his passion when singing.

  That said, the show was a bit quirky.

  Promising not to repeat any songs from the afternoon show, he admitted he had no set list. This led to very awkward moments before several songs.

  The show started 20-25 minutes late and then he told us he had to end the show by 10:20 b/c that was the rule. Huh? BS. I’ve been to Town Hall many times.

  The gimmick of inviting a woman on stage for Cheers, Darling (where we watched them finish a bottle of wine in 5 min) was too hokey for me.

  He didn’t do any covers in this show (I love his covers of U2, Leonard Cohen, etc. He did Prince in the earlier show which I would have wanted to hear)

  Despite these criticisms, his songs are great, his stories were cool. A couple of new songs (one is Astronaut) got me hoping for a new album soon - tho he didn’t say so.

• Overall, a great show and not to be missed. Played all his hits, and provided backstories for most of them which was quite enjoyable. He asks a lot from his audience as far as attention span goes, which I loved, but meant that at times the place got very loud as others seemed to get bored and talkative. He did a lot of looping as well, which was a little bit of a disappointment as this is not his strong suit, but it certainly wasn't bad. Again, overall a great show and I would strongly encourage anyone to see it!

• I've seen Damien before, the previous concert at friedrichstadtpalast was good but this one at Tempodrom was a total blast, better sound, he tried more new things with old tunes and engaged into long conversations with the public. The lightning was also better than other times. The addition of an actual drum set instead of pre-recorded sounds was also very welcome. All in all it felt like one the best concerts of the year.
