Globally revered Irish artist Imelda May has just announced new 2026 dates for her much acclaimed “Raised on Songs & Stories” tour across the UK. This tour features a unique series of intimate evenings with new stripped back versions of her wide discography and favourite songs, integrated with her famed poetry & storytelling.
Imelda speaks on the ‘Raised on Songs and Stories’ tour: “It’ll be an evening of songs, poems, stories, joy and beauty. This idea evolved naturally over the last couple of years. You see, when I write, produce and release an album I get so excited to perform the songs live that I fizz up and plan and rehearse gigs with such enthusiasm that I’m like a little thrilled whirlwind but too often I leave room for little else. I work out which songs will flow best into another to create the vibe desired that I sometimes don’t leave much space for the unknown which is where a different magic lies. This space is the place where I exist most and write and create. So it feels right to stay there a while. To have a gig where someone might ask for a song I haven’t visited in a while and I think ‘yeah let’s give it a go’, or where I can tell you the stories behind the songs and how I ended up working with some of the people I’ve worked with so far. Not a ‘show’ this will be a shared night of what music, art, connection and creativity means to me, with you.”
Born and raised in The Liberties area of Dublin, Imelda May has become one of the UK & Ireland’s most celebrated female artists. A true creative, Imelda immerses herself in art across many forms, as a singer, songwriter, actor, producer, poet, illustrator and storyteller.
