The Dunwells Autumn Tour 2026

The Dunwells return to the stage with The Dunwells Autumn Tour 2026, a compelling series of shows that highlights the band's distinctive blend of rock, folk, pop, and country influences. Originating from Leeds, England, The Dunwells first gained attention for their harmonious vocals and memorable melodies that have drawn comparisons to bands like Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers. Formed in 2009 by brothers Joseph and David Dunwell, alongside friends Adam Taylor and Rob Clayton, the band has built a reputation for heartfelt lyrics and captivating performances.

Their journey into country music began earnestly in 2011 at the Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, Tennessee, where they connected with producer John Porter. Under his guidance, they crafted their debut album Blind Sighted Faith, recorded in Austin, Texas, which was praised for its successful fusion of folk-rock and Americana with Brit-pop sensibilities. Since then, The Dunwells have toured extensively across the UK and US, supporting major artists and gracing stages at renowned festivals such as SXSW and Glastonbury.

In recent years, the band has evolved their sound, incorporating electronic elements while maintaining their acoustic roots, showcasing versatility and growth. Their latest album, Something in the Water (2020), marked a return to their country origins, inspired by travels through iconic American cities steeped in musical history such as Nashville and Austin. This album reflects a blend of optimism and gratitude, hallmarks of their evolving yet consistent songwriting style.

The Dunwells' Autumn Tour 2026 also captures the warmth and energy the band is known for, delivering a comprehensive live experience to audiences across multiple venues. The London date takes place at St Pancras Old Church, a venue renowned for its music heritage and intimate atmosphere. Since its establishment as a music venue in 2011, St Pancras Old Church has become a celebrated platform for both emerging talents and established artists, hosting the likes of Sinead O'Connor and Laura Marling. The venue's unique setting, infused with history and a sense of community, provides an ideal backdrop for The Dunwells' emotive performances.
