Ireland’s leading folk group, The High Kings, return to the U.S. in 2026 with the announcement of The Rocky Road Tour, making a highly anticipated stop at the Boulder Theater on Wednesday, March 25. Known for their powerful vocal harmonies, instrumental mastery, and infectious energy, The High Kings continue to bring Irish heritage and storytelling to audiences worldwide.
Following a record-breaking 2024 — including a sold-out world tour, a feature on Disney’s Only Murders in the Building, and over 5 million weekly streams — the group carried their momentum through 2025 with sold-out U.S. dates and a triumphant headline performance at Los Angeles’ legendary Troubadour.

The band’s international recognition reached new heights in 2025 with their contribution to the soundtrack of Sinners — the current #1 movie worldwide, directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan. The soundtrack, curated by Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer Ludwig Göransson (Oppenheimer, The Mandalorian, Black Panther), prominently features The High Kings’ stirring renditions of “The Rocky Road to Dublin” and “Go Lassie Go.”
With The Rocky Road Tour 2026, fans can expect an electrifying live experience — one that celebrates tradition while pushing creative boundaries. From intimate ballads to rousing anthems, the show underscores The High Kings’ place as global ambassadors of Irish folk music.
Their past decade has seen countless accolades and unforgettable moments, including appearances at Glastonbury Festival, Isle of Wight Festival, Times Square (NYC), and Trafalgar Square (London), along with U.S. television performances on Good Morning America, The View, and The Today Show.
