Shea Rafferty – LIVIN’ TOUR 2026

A new album means a new run of live dates for Northern Irish singer-songwriter Shea Rafferty, who heads out on his LIVIN’ TOUR 2026 following the release of LIVIN’ on 25 September 2026. Drawing on country and Americana alongside folk and rock, Rafferty’s music combines roots influences with a contemporary singer-songwriter approach.

LIVIN’ follows his previous album Making History and arrives after a series of new releases, including July single “The Lucky One”. The new record provides the foundation for Rafferty’s 2026 live shows and represents the next step in a career that has already earned recognition from UK country radio.

Across the LIVIN’ TOUR, Rafferty will showcase material from the album alongside songs audiences may already know from his back catalogue. It is an opportunity to hear his latest work where his combination of storytelling, country influences and live musicianship can come fully to the fore.

This tour date at The Duke’s of Highgate in London is especially significant as part of the album launch celebrations. The Duke’s holds a special place for country music fans, being London’s first Country Honky Tonk bar, opened in 2020. Its intimate 70-capacity venue creates an atmosphere where the merging of traditional country roots with Raffertys contemporary voice can be experienced up close and personal.

For listeners who appreciate artists like Wandering Hearts or artists with an indie-folk sensibility fused with country storytelling, Raffertys LIVIN’ TOUR 2026 offers a heartfelt and authentic musical journey. This show promises to connect deeply with those who value earnest songwriting wrapped in accessible, melodic arrangements.
