Ireland’s leading folk group, The High Kings, are set to excite fans once again with the
announcement of their Rocky Road Tour 2026.
Following a record-breaking 2024 – including a sold-out world tour, a feature on Disney’s critically
acclaimed Only Murders in The Building, and over 5 million weekly streams – the band are
showing no signs of slowing down. Their momentum continued in 2025 with a string of sold-out
U.S. tour dates, culminating in a headline performance at the legendary Troubadour in Los
Angeles on March 23rd, after stops in Kansas, Nashville, St. Paul, St. Louis, New York, New
Hampton, Glen Ellen, Ridgefield, Alexandria, and more.

But it was their inclusion on the soundtrack of Sinners—the current #1 movie worldwide, starring
Michael B. Jordan and directed by Ryan Coogler—that marked a defining moment in their global
recognition. The film’s soundtrack, already topping international streaming charts, was curated by
Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer Ludwig Göransson (Oppenheimer, The Mandalorian,
Black Panther), a long-time admirer of The High Kings’ distinctive vocal blend and musicianship.
After attending their sold-out show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles earlier this year, Göransson
selected two tracks—“The Rocky Road to Dublin” and “Go Lassie Go”—to feature prominently
in the film’s score.
The Rocky Road Tour 2026 will build on this global success, offering audiences a high-energy
live show that reinforces The High Kings’ place at the forefront of Irish folk. With a renewed focus
on storytelling, musicianship, and connection, the tour reflects the group’s ongoing commitment to
honouring Ireland’s folk legacy while pushing creative boundaries.
