Kennedy is touring in support of his latest album, Sonder, which took three years of hard work to come together. Filled with thoughtful lyrics and soaring vocals, Kennedy’s second studio album became his second consecutive top 40 album in Australia, and also topped the charts in his home country and the UK.
Sonder was the eagerly-awaited follow-up to Kennedy’s 2019 debut, Without Fear, which featured beloved singles like “Power Over Me”, “Outnumbered”, and “Giants”.
Kennedy has been very busy on the touring front recently. His worldwide arena tour included shows at iconic venues such as London’s O2 and New York City’s Madison Square Garden, and he performed two sold-out hometown shows to 80,000 fans in Dublin’s Marlay Park. Kennedy also appeared at several prominent global festivals, including Glastonbury, and he’ll headline one day of London’s All Points East Festival later this month.
