*Cara Dillon – Coming Home * A stunning tapestry of storytelling, poetry and song With over 55 sold-out performances of Coming Home to date, Cara will bring her acclaimed show to Cadogan Hall, London on April 16th 2026.
Following the release of the album and the publication of her book of the same name in March 2024 which featured her first new material in over six years, Cara toured this new production throughout 2023, 2024, and 2025. The response has been nothing short of extraordinary, with sold-out performances at the Grand Opera House and Ulster Hall in Belfast, Kings Place in London, The Guildhall in Derry, among many more.
Born from a collection of poems, songs, and the remarkable album and book that followed, this celebrated live show sees Cara skilfully interweave her emotive new work with a carefully curated selection of her most beloved classics. The result is a moving tapestry of storytelling, poetry, and song, a seamless blend that offers an evocative glimpse into Cara’s world as she brings to life memories and stories inspired by her native Co. Derry and the people, places, and traditions she holds closets to her heart.
Few voices linger in the soul like Cara’s. A towering figure in Irish music, she has earned global acclaim and major awards, including four BBC Folk Awards and the Meteor Award for Best Irish Female. For nearly 30 years, her voice, deceptively delicate yet profoundly powerful, has bridged tradition and innovation. She’ll be joined by an extraordinary band led by her husband and long-time collaborator Sam Lakeman, whose sensitive arrangements help shape what is among her most compelling live shows to date—one that unlocks profound memories and emotions in all who experience it.
