Dermot Kennedy in Berlin: a voice that carries both silence and the arena

Dermot Kennedy comes to Max-Schmeling-Halle as one of those songwriters whose concerts do not depend only on choruses, but on the tension between voice, lyrics and audience. His music often starts from a folk and singer-songwriter core, but expands toward pop, soul, electronic textures and rhythms that can sound considerably stronger in a large hall than the studio versions suggest at first. Berlin is therefore a natural stop for this phase of his career: a city that loves big concerts, but also performers who retain a sense of intimacy even when singing in front of thousands of people.

For the audience that has followed him since earlier songs such as "An Evening I Will Not Forget", "Power Over Me" and "Outnumbered", this performance has a clear emotional line. Kennedy has grown from Dublin’s busking and singer-songwriter tradition into a performer who can carry large European halls, while words, a raspy vocal and a sense of conversation with the audience still remain at the center. Tickets for this event are in demand.

The current phase of the career and new material

The concert in Berlin comes at a time when Dermot Kennedy is presenting a new phase after the album "The Weight of the Woods". That album brings songs that continue his recognizable search for balance between the personal and the universal: family motifs, memories, inner pressure, the need for calm and a return to music that sounds closer to his roots. In an interview for People he described working with producer Gabe Simon and the importance of Irish identity for this material, which gives additional context to the songs the audience will now hear in a new concert setting.

His earlier catalogue already has several songs that the audience recognizes after the first lines. "Power Over Me" brought a dramatic, broad pop sweep; "Outnumbered" became one of his most recognizable songs because of its message of support and big chorus; "Better Days" is often associated with the more optimistic, radio-friendly layer of his work; while "Something to Someone", "Kiss Me" and "Innocence and Sadness" show how much his sound changed between the albums "Without Fear" and "Sonder".

What defines his sound

Kennedy’s concert identity is not reduced to one genre. In one song he can sound like a folk songwriter who relies on lyrics and an acoustic guitar, and already in the next like a pop performer with a massive chorus and a rhythm built for a large hall. He is especially recognizable for contrast: gentle introductory sections often lead toward explosive singing, while the lyrics remain focused on loss, closeness, growing up and the desire to draw something brighter out of difficult experiences.


  • Recognizable songs: "Power Over Me", "Outnumbered", "Better Days", "Something to Someone", "Kiss Me" and "Giants".

  • Newer material: songs from the album "The Weight of the Woods", including titles highlighted on his current channels such as "Honest", "Refuge", "Funeral", "Blue Eyes" and "The Weight of the Woods".

  • Concert signature: powerful vocals, emotional singing, alternation of acoustic moments and larger arrangements, and an audience that often sings the choruses together with the performer.

What the audience can expect live

One should not expect a predefined setlist as a finished fact, because the concert repertoire can change from city to city. What can be concluded from his concert reputation so far is that Kennedy builds performances around emotional peaks. The big hits usually take on the role of communal singing, while newer songs bring freshness and a clear picture of the current phase of his career. In such an order, the audience gets both faces: a performer who knows how to write intimate lines and a performer who can fill an arena without losing tension.

An important part of the experience is his vocal dynamics. Kennedy often sings as if he is pushing the song over the edge, with a voice that breaks, expands and calms again. In a hall such as Max-Schmeling-Halle, such an approach can work well because the large stage gives room for broader arrangements, but the hall format still retains greater closeness than a stadium. For fans who like to hear the lyrics, and not only the production, that is a key difference.

This concert will especially attract three types of audience: those who have followed him since the early, rawer songs; the wider audience that knows him from radio singles; and listeners who love songwriters on the border of folk, pop and emotional rock. It is not a performance that asks only for dance energy, but an evening in which loud choruses and those moments when the hall falls silent because of one sentence will be equally important. Places are disappearing quickly.

Amble as the confirmed support act

For the Berlin concert, the support act Amble has also been announced. This is a detail that gives the event an additional musical frame, because Amble naturally fits with an audience that comes for a singer-songwriter, folk and emotional expression. Such a support act can open the evening well: not competing with the main performer in the scale of production, but preparing the space for more concentrated listening.

At concerts of this profile, the support act is not only an addition to the schedule. It sets the first tone of the evening, the moment in which the audience moves from the city noise into the concert rhythm. Since the doors of Max-Schmeling-Halle have been announced for 18:30, and the start of the program for 20:00, it is worth arriving earlier if visitors want to catch the entire musical introduction, find their place without rushing and avoid the greatest pressure at the entrances.

Max-Schmeling-Halle: a large hall with urban character

Max-Schmeling-Halle is located in Prenzlauer Berg, within the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark area, at Falkplatz 1. The hall opened in 1996 and ranks among Berlin’s largest spaces for sports, concerts and other programs. According to local tourism sources, for concert formats it can accommodate up to around 12,000 visitors, while other sources cite up to 11,900 for multipurpose capacity. For visitors, the most important thing is the following: it is a hall large enough for the concert to have the feel of a big production, but not so huge that contact with the stage is completely lost.

Prenzlauer Berg is one of those Berlin districts where the concert does not begin only at the hall entrance. Nearby are Mauerpark, Kastanienallee and a number of cafés, bars and places for a quick meal, so the arrival can be turned into a pre-concert walk. This is useful especially for visitors traveling from outside Berlin: instead of arriving at the last minute, it is better to plan an earlier arrival in the district, leave enough time for transport and enter the hall without nervousness.


  • Venue: Max-Schmeling-Halle, Falkplatz 1, 10437 Berlin.

  • District: Prenzlauer Berg, by the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark area and close to Mauerpark.

  • Capacity: for concert formats it is cited as up to around 12,000 visitors, depending on the room setup.

  • Entry into the hall: for this event it has been announced from 18:30.

  • Start of the program: it has been announced for 20:00.



Getting to the hall and moving around the district

For Max-Schmeling-Halle, public transport is the most practical option. The nearest stations listed by the hall for arrival are the U-Bahn station Eberswalder Straße on line U2 and S+U Schönhauser Allee. Nearby are also the tram stops Milastraße and Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark, approximately 600 meters on foot away. This is especially important after the concert, when a larger number of people move simultaneously toward the same exits and stations.

The hall does not offer visitor parking, and parking spaces in the surrounding area are limited and under local parking management. That is why a car is a less practical option, especially for those who do not know the district. If you are nevertheless arriving by car, it is useful to allow extra time and check public garages in the wider area, for example toward Kulturbrauerei or Alexanderplatz, while being aware that the final part of the journey may include walking or public transport.

For visitors who like arriving by bicycle, the area around the hall also offers Berlin’s bicycle logic. The hall lists a bike-sharing station in front of the main entrance and bicycle racks in front of and at the side of the building. This can be a good option for the local audience or for those staying in Prenzlauer Berg, Mitte or neighboring districts. It is worth securing tickets in time.

Berlin as a concert weekend

For a concert like this, Berlin is more than an incidental tour stop. The city has a large international audience, strong concert infrastructure and a habit of mixing genres without too much explanation. Dermot Kennedy can gather there Irish and British fans who live in the city, a German audience that knows him from radio hits, but also travelers who come for one concert and stay for the weekend.

BOOK ACCOMMODATION NEARBY
For those who are traveling, Prenzlauer Berg is a grateful base because it is not isolated from the rest of the city. The U2 connection via Eberswalder Straße leads toward central points, the S-Bahn via Schönhauser Allee makes moving around wider Berlin easier, and Mauerpark and Kastanienallee provide enough content before the concert. If the plan is to arrive the same day, it is smart to leave a safe time buffer: Berlin is large, and Friday evening can mean transport crowds and longer waits at the entrances.

Why this performance is interesting within the tour

The Berlin date is part of the announced May tour that Max-Schmeling-Halle describes as Kennedy’s biggest headlining tour so far. This is an important detail because it speaks to the ambition of the format: it is not a small club return, but a performance adapted to large European halls. In such an environment, new songs gain a broader stage picture, and old hits gain a greater collective charge.

The importance of the city is further strengthened by the Berlin audience itself. Berlin rarely reacts uniformly: in the hall there will probably be people who know every word of the early songs, those who came because of several big singles and those who are only just getting to know the new album. Exactly that kind of mixture often creates the best moments at Dermot Kennedy concerts, because his songs do not ask only for fan knowledge, but openness toward voice and story.

How to prepare for the evening

Before the concert, it is worth listening to two lines of his catalogue. The first leads through earlier songs and big singles: "An Evening I Will Not Forget", "Power Over Me", "Outnumbered", "Better Days" and "Something to Someone". The second leads toward the newer material from "The Weight of the Woods", where a calmer, more mature and more earthy tone can be heard. In that way, even the audience that does not know the entire body of work will more easily recognize the dramaturgy of the evening.

For the arrival itself, the most important thing is to plan practically. The hall is large, entrances open earlier, and the surrounding area does not have simple visitor parking. Public transport, earlier arrival and an agreed meeting point after the concert can save a lot of time. If you are coming with company, agree where you will meet in case the mobile network is overloaded after the end of the program.


  • Arrive earlier if you want to hear the support act Amble and avoid the biggest crowd at the entrance.

  • Use public transport because the hall does not offer visitor parking.

  • Check the route in advance toward Eberswalder StraĂźe, Schönhauser Allee or nearby tram stops.

  • Count on a walk through Prenzlauer Berg, especially if you are arriving from the direction of Mauerpark or Kastanienallee.

  • Do not rely on arriving at the last minute because entrances, cloakrooms and moving around the hall are slower when the audience gathers immediately before the start.

The atmosphere worth expecting

Dermot Kennedy is not a performer whose concerts are remembered only for loudness. His strength lies in drawing the audience into the feeling of singing together, but also into quieter moments in which every change in the voice can be heard. In Max-Schmeling-Halle, that contrast can be especially impressive: the large hall amplifies the choruses, while the enclosed space keeps the focus on the stage. It is a concert for those who want both emotional charge and the feeling of a big evening.

The best way to enter that concert is not to expect an exact song list or to imagine every stage detail in advance. It is better to come with knowledge of his voice, several key songs and a readiness for the new material to take up an important part of the evening. Kennedy is in a phase in which he carries not only his own hits, but also the story of how a songwriter grows after major commercial success. Ticket sales for this event are ongoing.

For longtime fans, this is an opportunity to hear how the early songs have matured in a larger space. For the wider audience, this is perhaps the most direct way to understand why his songs traveled from street and club sensibility to arenas. For lovers of emotional pop and contemporary folk, Berlin offers a concert in which voice, lyrics, hall and shared choruses will all count equally.

Culture & events desk

The editorial team for arts, music and events brings together journalists and volunteers who have spent years living alongside stages, clubs, festivals and all those spaces where art and audience meet. Our writing comes from long-standing journalistic experience and genuine involvement in cultural life: from endless evenings in concert halls, from conversations with musicians before and after performances, from improvised press corners at festivals, from premieres that end with long discussions in theatre corridors, but also from small, intimate events that attract only a handful of curious people yet remain engraved in their memory for a lifetime.

In our newsroom write people who know what a stage looks like when the lights go out, how the audience breathes while waiting for the first note, and what happens behind the curtain while instruments or microphones are still being adjusted. Many of us have spent years standing on stage ourselves, participating in programme organisation, volunteering at festivals or helping artist friends present their projects. This experience from both sides of the stage gives us the ability to view events not merely as items in a calendar, but as living encounters between creators and audiences.

Our stories do not stop at who performed and how many people attended. We are interested in the processes that precede every appearance before the public: how the idea for a concert or festival is born, what it takes for a comedy to reach its audience, how much time is spent preparing an exhibition or a multimedia project. In our texts we try to convey the atmosphere of the space, the energy of the performers and the mood of the audience, as well as the context in which all this happens – why a certain performance is important, how it fits into the broader music or art scene, and what remains after the venue empties.

The editorial team for arts, music and events builds its credibility on persistence and long-term work. Behind us are decades of writing, editing, talking with artists and observing how scenes change, how some styles come to the forefront while others retreat into the background. This experience helps us distinguish fleeting hype from events that truly push boundaries and leave a mark. When we give something space, we strive to explain why we believe it deserves attention, and when we are critical, we explain our reasons, aware of the effort behind every project.

Our task is simple and demanding at the same time: to be reliable witnesses of cultural and entertainment life, to write honestly toward the audience and honestly toward performers. We do not deal in generic praise; we aim to precisely describe what we see and hear, knowing that every text may be someone’s first encounter with a certain band, festival, comedian or artist. The editorial team for arts, music and events therefore exists as a place where all these encounters are recorded, interpreted and passed on – humanly, clearly and with respect for the very reason it exists at all: the live, real event in front of a real audience.
