Overview

WESTIVAL 2026 Friday 30th October Westport Town Hall Theatre 8.00pm (doors 7.30pm) Tickets: €32 Westival is delighted to announce Dave Lofts as part of our upcoming festival line-up. Dave will perform at Westport Town Hall Theatre on Friday, 30 October . With his raw, anthemic storytelling and distinctive indie-folk edge, Dave Lofts has drawn comparisons to a young Van Morrison and the soulful authenticity of Paolo Nutini. His songs feel deeply personal yet universally relatable, earning him a reputation for honest songwriting, captivating live performances and a fiercely loyal following. Dave’s story is as grounded as his music. A former member of the Irish Defence Forces, he brings a unique real-world perspective to his songwriting, giving his work remarkable depth and authenticity. He now has more than 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, has sold out 25 consecutive Irish headline shows and completed a fully sold-out debut UK tour, including dates in London, Manchester and Glasgow. Earlier this year, Dave performed alongside Dermot Kennedy at the 20th Anniversary Oscar Wilde Awards in Los Angeles during Oscar Week. An impromptu performance of his latest single, “Holy”, with Sarenna Farrell went on to generate more than 10 million views across social media.
