Fanny Lumsden brings her award-winning sound to Dublin this summer
Acclaimed Australian singer and storyteller Fanny Lumsden has announced a headline concert at Whelans on 10 August 2025, marking a rare Irish date on her upcoming tour. Known for her sharp wit, storytelling charm and heartfelt country-folk melodies, this is set to be a must-see show for fans of contemporary roots music.
Hailing from the Snowy Valleys in regional New South Wales, Lumsden has carved out a strong space for herself in the Australian country scene. Since her debut album “Small Town Big Shot” in 2015, she has continued to collect accolades, including an ARIA Award for Best Country Album with “Fallow.” Her music blends personal storytelling with sharp observational lyrics, exploring both the small joys and bigger questions of rural life.
Lumsden is no stranger to the stage. Over the past decade, she has toured relentlessly, playing everything from dusty community halls to major festivals like Tamworth Country Music Festival and Woodford Folk Festival. What sets her apart is how she brings the soul of those small-town Australian gigs to every audience, no matter the size or location.
I caught Fanny live at a small regional show back in 2019, where she performed against the backdrop of a cricket shed and a setting sun. Despite some dodgy stage lighting and the odd moth crash-landing into her guitar, she held the audience in the palm of her hand. That same charm, no doubt, will fill Whelans in Dublin come August.
Blending classic instrumentation with polished modern production, Lumsden's sound weaves together banjo, pedal steel, and layered harmonies that echo her deep roots in Australian country music. Fans can expect favourites from her discography as well as new tracks from her forthcoming album, which she has been hinting at on social media.
Her Dublin appearance will offer Irish audiences a rare chance to catch one of Australia's most respected voices in an intimate setting. With the buzz building, and ticket sales set to open this week, demand is expected to be strong.
