The High Kings are set to return to Australia this September for their Step It Out World Tour, bringing their trademark mix of Irish folk tradition and contemporary flair to stages across the country. The run begins at Brisbane’s Princess Theatre on 11 September before heading through Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, and wrapping in Fremantle on 20 September.


Coinciding with the tour, The High Kings have unveiled The Rocky Road To Dublin – The Celtic Remix, a new reworking of their much-loved version featured on the global box office hit Sinners. Produced alongside Billy Farrell, the track pays homage to Irish tradition while introducing a modern edge, nodding to influences like The Pogues and Ludwig Göransson.

Formed in Dublin in 2008, The High Kings – Finbarr Clancy, Darren Holden, Brian Dunphy and Paul O’Brien – are known for their dynamic live shows, with each member switching between banjo, mandolin, accordion, bodhrán, flute and more. Their upcoming performances will spotlight songs from across their ten albums, including fan favourites and tracks from The Road Not Taken.


With a new single in hand and a string of sold-out dates already, The High Kings’ return promises to be one of the highlights of Australia’s 2025 touring calendar.
