The High Kings

The High Kings are Ireland’s premier folk storytellers—an act that has taken Irish traditional folk music global, while reimagining it for a new generation. Over the past 15 years, they’ve grown from national treasures into an international phenomenon, selling out tours worldwide and redefining what Irish folk can sound like in the 21st century. They’ve performed for presidents and prime ministers, , played Glastonbury, the Isle of Wight Festival, Times Square, and Trafalgar Square, while continuing to dominate Irish festivals across the USA every year. Their 8th studio album, The Road Not Taken, became a streaming juggernaut with 14 million streams in its first year—and topped charts across Ireland, the USA, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. With rich harmonies, rousing energy, and songs that bridge past and present, The High Kings aren’t just carrying Ireland’s folk tradition forward—they’re supercharging it.
