Dolans presents Kingfishr will celebrate the bands amazing rise
Kingfishr will perform in Limerick as part of the Docklands festival on Friday August 22, 2025. Limerick-based 3-piece, Kingfishr, have quickly established themselves as one of the rising prospects in Irish music. Part of the newest generation of Irish contemporaries, the band’s grand, atmospheric tone married with their propensity for catchy melodies has resonated with a wide audience.
Named after the bird which frequents the river Boro in Eddie’s native Wexford, the Limerick-based trio produce, write, and record their own music at their home studio, which happens to be located on a dairy farm. The band have gone from strength to strength since their days in UL, with the folk artists set to go international after joining world-famous rock legend Bruce Springsteen at his BST Hyde Park show.
In two short years, they have racked up over 12 million streams on Spotify to date, were included in Spotify’s Fresh Finds UK & IE: Class of 2023 and began 2024 as Spotify RADAR: First Listen UK & IE Artists. 2023 saw debut sold out tours across the UK and Ireland as well as a host of supports with major artists, such as Dermot Kennedy & George Ezra, and notable festival performances including BST Hyde Park, Latitude, All Points East and Electric Picnic.
Speaking at the launch Mick Dolan says, “Delighted to Welcome KingFishr back to the Docklands after they were the first band to perform at the festival post covid after they supported Hermitage Green, From there it’s been an amazing rise and what a hometown show to celebrate that success.”
This is the third show announced for the series with Picture This already selling out their first night and adding a second so expect more announcements.
Tickets go on sale this Friday November 1st at 10AM from Dolans.ie and Ticketmaster.ie
