Imelda May has announced a 10 date UK tour, Raised on Songs & Stories, beginning in Aberdeen, Scotland on April 7, 2025.

The Liberties-born singer-songwriter will perform a series of intimate shows, performing new stripped back versions of her wide discography.

May says, “I’m coming to you soon! 10 nights of UK Spring 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.”

Imelda May’s sophomore album Love Tattoo holds the title of the best-selling album of all time by an Irish solo female artist.

Her most recent album 11 Past the Hour marks her fourth No. 1 album in Ireland and fourth Top 10 in the UK.

May has ventured into the worlds of poetry and film as of late, releasing her poetry book A Lick & A Promise and starring in films such as Fisherman’s Friends: One and All and The People Before.

Tickets for Raised on Songs & Stories Tour are available from ticketmaster.co.uk with general sale beginning on December 13 at 10am.
