Hozier hints at Fenway Park performances, plans to create new music on summer tour
Irish musician Hozier is gearing up to play his biggest U.S. stadium yet as part of his Unreal Unearth Tour. This tour will hit Boston’s Fenway Park for two nights in June. Despite the magnitude of this upcoming performance, Hozier remains grounded and calm. He mentioned feeling a bit nervous, but emphasized the importance of breathing techniques and meditation to manage pre-show jitters.
The Unreal Unearth Tour initially kicked off in summer 2023, coinciding with the release of Hozier’s album of the same name. Due to the overwhelming success of the tour, with sold-out shows and chart-topping hits like “Too Sweet,” the tour has been repeatedly extended. In an effort to keep the show fresh, Hozier has hinted at minor tweaks to the setlist and production elements.
In the midst of touring and festival appearances at Bonnaroo and Governor’s Ball, Hozier also hopes to find some time for creativity. He plans to write new music while on tour, mentioning that he has a portable recording setup to facilitate the process. With over 100 tour dates planned for 2025, Hozier has toyed with the idea of releasing a live album, possibly with orchestral arrangements for a different musical experience.
Collaborations are also on the horizon for the versatile artist. Hozier has previously shared the stage with musicians like Ed Sheeran and Lucy Dacus, and he is eager to explore more collaborative opportunities this summer. While specific plans for surprise guests are still in the works, he remains open to the possibility of sharing the stage with friends at various festivals and shows.
As the Unreal Unearth Tour resumes in May, starting in Bogotá, Colombia, before returning to the U.S. in June, fans can expect an exciting array of performances from Hozier. With his penchant for live music and creative endeavors, Hozier continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his soulful sound and genuine artistry.
