Fionn Regan Unveils New Album Berlin, Berlin & 2027 Tour

Fionn Regan has announced his eighth studio album, Berlin, Berlin, set for release on 22 January 2027. The Irish singer-songwriter, known for his poetic lyricism and intimate folk arrangements, will follow the album’s launch with an extensive UK and Europe tour beginning in late February 2027. The tour marks his first major live run since the release of O Avalanche in 2024, offering fans a chance to experience his latest work in an intimate setting.

A Bold, Minimalist Return

Berlin, Berlin arrives as a departure from Regan’s previous work, both in process and sound. Recorded in just five or six days in East London, the album embraces a "first thought, best thought" philosophy, inspired by the spontaneity of Jack Kerouac. Regan sought to capture a raw, unfiltered energy, stripping back arrangements to their essence. The result is a collection of songs that feel immediate and unpolished, with a wintery, nocturnal atmosphere that contrasts with the sun-drenched inspiration behind O Avalanche.

The album’s lead single, Hurricane Bruise, sets the tone with its gossamer-light instrumentation and subtle baroque flourishes. Tracks like Black Silk Dress and The Streets Are Wet With Rain further explore themes of fleeting beauty and melancholy, while the title track, Berlin, reflects the album’s namesake city’s moody, introspective vibe.

Tour Dates and Venues

Regan’s 2027 tour will take him across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe, with stops in major cities and smaller venues that suit his stripped-back sound. Highlights include:

• Ireland: Limerick (26 February)
• UK: Glasgow (9 March), Leeds (10 March), Manchester (13 March), Birmingham (15 March), Bristol (16 March), London (19 March at EartH Theatre)
• Europe: Amsterdam (23 March), Paris (26 March), Cologne (27 March), Hamburg (31 March), Berlin (1 April), Darmstadt (3 April)

Fans can expect an intimate live experience, with Regan’s delicate guitar work and haunting vocals taking center stage. The tour offers a rare opportunity to hear Berlin, Berlin in full, performed by the artist who crafted it in a matter of days.

Why It Matters

For longtime followers of Fionn Regan, Berlin, Berlin represents a return to the minimalist folk roots that defined his early work. After the lush arrangements of O Avalanche, this album feels like a deliberate step back—less production, more emotion. The rapid recording process lends the songs a sense of urgency, as if each track was captured in a single, unguarded moment.

The tour, too, is a chance for Regan to reconnect with audiences in a way that feels authentic to his artistic vision. With no elaborate staging or over-the-top production, these shows will likely focus on the purity of his songwriting, a hallmark of his career.

Practical Info for Fans

• Album release date: 22 January 2027
• Label: Cormorant Bird (Regan’s own imprint, in partnership with Secretly Distribution)
• Tour starts: 26 February 2027 in Limerick, Ireland
• Ticket links: Official announcements expected soon via Fionn Regan’s website and social media

Fans should act quickly, as venues like London’s EartH Theatre and Amsterdam’s smaller clubs tend to sell out fast for artists of Regan’s caliber. For those unable to attend, the album itself promises to be a compelling listen, offering a snapshot of an artist at his most unfiltered.
