The Dunwells Autumn Tour 2026

The Dunwells return with The Dunwells Autumn Tour 2026, bringing their distinctive blend of rock, folk, pop, and country to venues across the UK. Since forming in Leeds in 2009, the band has built a reputation for harmonious vocals, memorable melodies, and lyrics that resonate with heartfelt emotion. Their music seamlessly weaves together Americana influences and British sensibilities, earning comparisons to celebrated acts like Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, and The Civil Wars.

Embarking on a journey through their evolving sound, The Dunwells have often embraced their country roots, notably marked by their experience at the Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, which led to a critically acclaimed debut album produced in Austin, Texas. Their music journeys from rich, acoustic harmonies to subtle incorporations of electronic elements, all while maintaining a warm, authentic atmosphere.

This autumn tour encapsulates the band’s enduring commitment to bringing intimate, energetic performances to audiences, reflecting their deep connections to the American music traditions that have shaped their sound. Their latest album, Something in the Water (2020), reaffirms this direction with songs inspired by travels through Nashville, New Orleans, and Austin, capturing their optimistic spirit and gratitude.
