Acclaimed Irish songwriter Lisa O’Neill will make her debut German headline appearance at Theater im Delphi on Friday 9 October 2026, bringing her powerful, poetic live show to Berlin for one special night.

Renowned for her distinctive voice, fearless songwriting and spellbinding stage presence, O’Neill has become one of the most vital and respected figures in contemporary folk music. Her songs weave together history, politics, compassion and myth, delivered with a rare emotional honesty that has earned her widespread critical acclaim.

Lisa’s work has been praised internationally, with BBC 6 Music, The Guardian, Mojo, Uncut, NPR, The Irish Times and The New York Times among those hailing her as a modern great. Her album All Of This Is Chance was widely ranked among the best releases of that year, with BBC 6 Music’s Gideon Coe naming it Album of the Year and recent 6 track EP release ‘The Wind Doesn’t Blow This Far Right’ further cemented her reputation as a singular artistic voice.

A compelling live performer and natural raconteur, O’Neill’s concerts are known for their intimacy and intensity, moving effortlessly between stark, socially engaged songs and moments of warmth, humour and reflection. Audiences can expect material spanning her celebrated catalogue, alongside newer work that continues her tradition of giving voice to the unheard and overlooked.

Two of O’Neill’s songs featured in the acclaimed television series Peaky Blinders - “Blackbird”, her own composition, and an adaptation of Bob Dylan’s “All the Tired Horses”, which soundtracked the final scene of the epic drama. O’Neill has also toured extensively throughout Ireland, the UK, Australia and North America, including high-profile performances celebrating the legacy of The Pogues and Shane MacGowan.

This debut Berlin headline show offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Ireland’s most important contemporary songwriters in the intimate atmospheric surroundings of Theater im Delphi.
