“One of the most amazing voices I’ve heard” – Jools Holland

With his gravel-edged voice, finely crafted songs, and magnetic stage presence, Jon Allen stands at the crossroads of British classic rock and contemporary folk.

Fresh from the release of his acclaimed new album Seven Dials (Warner Chappell), Jon brings his powerful live show to The Sound House, Dublin, backed by his dynamic four-piece band, The Luna Kings. Expect soulful, guitar-driven performances that channel the spirit of 70s rock alongside the honesty and intimacy of modern folk — powerful, poetic, and deeply human.

Jon first rose to prominence with his critically acclaimed debut album Dead Man’s Suit, leading to an appearance on BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland. The exposure opened doors to international touring, major sync placements across television, film and advertising, and festival appearances including Glastonbury Festival.

A graduate of Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, Jon was honoured with the opportunity to collaborate on songwriting with Paul McCartney. It was during his time at LIPA that he met the core members of The Luna Kings, including guitarist Randall Breneman and drummer Adam Skinner — exceptional musicians whose reunion has reignited the chemistry and charisma that make their live performances unforgettable.

With over 40 million Spotify streams and a growing worldwide audience, Jon Allen continues to establish himself as one of the UK’s most compelling live artists.

His seventh studio album, Seven Dials, inspired by the seedy underworld of 18th-century London, was released on 2nd May 2026.

Don’t miss Jon Allen live in Dublin for one unforgettable night at The Sound House.
