Shea Rafferty – LIVIN’ TOUR 2026

Shea Rafferty brings the songs of his new album LIVIN’ to stages around the UK as part of his LIVIN’ TOUR 2026. Released on 25 September 2026, the album sees the Northern Irish singer-songwriter continuing to carve out his own space between contemporary country, Americana, folk and rock.

The road to LIVIN’ has included “The Lucky One”, a summer release that helped introduce Rafferty’s latest material. It follows earlier releases including Making History, which helped establish his blend of melodic songwriting and Americana influences and brought his music to the attention of country radio.

Now the focus turns to the stage. The Shea Rafferty LIVIN’ TOUR 2026 gives audiences the chance to discover the new album live while revisiting songs from his previous releases, with Rafferty’s songwriting and connection with the audience firmly at the centre of the evening.
