Dermot Kennedy is heading to Central New York this fall, bringing The Weight of the Woods Tour to Empower FCU Amphitheater in Syracuse on September 26, 2026.
The Irish singer-songwriter has built a reputation as one of the most compelling live performers of his generation, fusing folk intimacy with arena-scale power. His voice — raw, soaring, and unmistakable — has carried him from busking on the streets of Dublin to headlining stages across the world.
The Weight of the Woods Tour promises to be a showcase for the full spectrum of Kennedy’s artistry. His live shows are known for their intensity — stripped-back verses that pull the crowd into silence before erupting into choruses that shake the ground.
Empower FCU Amphitheater has established itself as one of Central New York’s premier outdoor concert destinations, and a show of this caliber is exactly the kind of night the venue was built for.
This is a major touring act making a dedicated stop in Syracuse, and with Kennedy’s fanbase only growing, tickets are expected to move quickly.
Tickets are available now — don’t wait on this one.
