Dermot Kennedy schedules Leeds arena show for 2 June 2026
Dermot Kennedy will play First Direct Arena in Leeds on 2 June 2026 at 18:00, with ticket sales already underway for the date. The show sits inside his biggest headline tour so far, a May and June 2026 run that turns Leeds into one stop on a wider arena itinerary.
First Direct Arena at 18:00
The Leeds concert gives buyers a fixed target: First Direct Arena, 2 June 2026, 18:00. That is the practical detail that matters most for anyone planning travel, budgeting for seats, or trying to get in before the arena date fills.
The concert is being sold as part of a larger European and British leg, and that scale is the clearest sign this is not a one-off date. For an arena act, a bigger headline tour usually means the live cycle is being pushed beyond isolated summer shows and into a full touring window.
2019 to 2024 catalogue
Kennedy’s set is expected to draw from his discography and new material due in 2026, but the Leeds setlist has not been announced. His catalogue already gives the booking enough recognizable material to anchor an arena night, from Outnumbered and Power Over Me to Better Days, Something to Someone and Kiss Me.
That mix sits across a release run that starts with Without Fear in 2019, continues with Sonder in 2022, and extends to the four-song EP I’ve told the trees everything in 2024. The setlist gap leaves the Leeds show with one unresolved piece: which songs from that span will actually make the arena cut.
May and June 2026
The broad tour window is the main commercial clue here, because May and June 2026 place Leeds inside a packed live calendar rather than a solo date drop. Fans who want this show need to work from the single confirmed time and venue now, not from assumptions about how the rest of the tour will land in the city.
For Leeds ticket buyers, the decision is straightforward: the arena show is scheduled, sales are open, and the only setlist guarantee is that Kennedy’s catalogue and 2026 material are both in play. The remaining variable is how much of the newer writing reaches the stage when the lights go up at 18:00.
