Hozier continues to bring in audiences worldwide with his provocative, energetic and organic live performances that span his extensive decade-long list of hits. He has stayed true to his roots as his shows have grown into larger venues, continuing to draw inspiration from performing entirely live with his expanding band.

Due to popular demand, 14 shows were added to the tour, and the concert date in Edmonton is one of four Canadian stops along with Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Calgary. Juno-award-winning singer, songwriter, poet, activist and multi-instrumentalist Allison Russell will be open on these dates.

The last time Hozier performed here was at the 2019 Edmonton Folk Music Festival.

Tickets will go on sale starting on Feb. 2 at 10 a.m. MT at livenation.com.
