Kirsten Adamson & The Tanagers is on Sunday 18 April 2027 at The Square Tower, Portsmouth, with doors at 19:15. Tickets start at £22, including the booking fee.

Returning to Portsmouth's beautiful Square Tower after two previous sell-outs, award-winning singer/songwriter Kirsten Adamson (daughter of rock legend Stuart Adamson (Big Country, Skids) summons the same heart- stopping purity as Sandy Denny, by way of Emmylou Harris and Kate Bush. Backed by The Tanagers, Adamson brings a warm, expansive band sound to her distinctive blend of heartland Americana, folk and rock. Kirsten followed her critically acclaimed last album, the stunning Dreamviewer, with a sold out UK headline tour, as well as appearances across Europe. In autumn 2026, the band join The Proclaimers for a major UK tour, playing rooms including the London Palladium, Manchester Apollo, Newcastle City Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall and Edinburgh Playhouse. In 2027, Kirsten Adamson & The Tanagers release Live in London, captured at the Water Rats and documenting a band that has grown in confidence, scale and reputation over the past two years. It marks the beginning of another chapter for Adamson, with a new record on the horizon and a live show that has become as central to the story as the songs themselves.

The Haar

The Square Tower · Portsmouth

The Haar will tour the UK this Autumn in support of their acclaimed new album The Lost Day, bringing their powerful, spontaneous re-imagining of traditional song to venues across England. The Anglo Irish quartet combines the staggering musicianship of Molly Donnery (vocals), Adam Summerhayes (fiddle), Murray Grainger (accordion) and Cormac Byrne (bodhrán). The Lost Day is a coming of age album, rich in poetic storytelling, emotional depth and forward looking energy that has become synonymous with the band’s authentic musical expression. The Lost Day marks a major step for the group, a richly textured collection that moves through longing, remorse, hope and celebration, delivered with clarity, lift and intensity. Their approach transforms well known songs into vivid contemporary experiences while retaining their emotional truth. With a fast growing grassroots following and standout appearances at major arts centres and festivals, The Haar are widely regarded as one of the most distinctive and compelling live acts on the UK and Irish folk scene.
