Already this year, Ezra performed at Dublin's 3Arena (March 8th) and on March 10th, he took to the stage at the Gleneagle INEC Arena in Killarney.
He's set to perform at Cork's Musgrave Park this year on June 11th, plus Belsonic in Belfast on June 9th.
The musician released his latest album Gold Rush Kid on June 10th 2022 via Columbia Records.
Ezra's debut album Wanted On Voyage arrived in 2014 following the massive break out, No.1 hit 'Budapest'.
Wanted On Voyage and Staying At Tamara’s (2018) both reached number 1 in the UK and sold millions around the world, and the latter of which earned him his first number 1 single in ‘Shotgun’ and won him the 2019 Brit Award for British Male Solo Artist – it was time to return to heart and hearth, with an album written and produced entirely in London with longstanding collaborator Joel Pott.
George's support act on the Dublin night will be Irish indie-folk band Kingfishr, who recently dropped the video for 'Heart In The Water' via B-Unique Records.

Made up of Eddie, McGoo & Fitz, the members of Kingfishr met while studying engineering at the University of Limerick back in 2017. The week before their finals, the trio released their debut single 'flowers-fire.'
The band named themselves after the kingfisher bird, which frequents the river Boro in Wexford, where Eddie comes from – but they decided to drop the 'e' to give the name a fresh twist. Musically, they take inspiration from U2, Hans Zimmer, and Ben Howard, influences that are subsumed into the band's unique, deep sound.
