This was my first time seeing Declan McKenna and he put on an spectacular show! To start, the concert was right on time so he went on exactly when we were told he would go on. His setlist wasn't incredibly long, so his performance ended at around 9:55-10:00. His vocals and band sound much clearer and better live than in the studio, and he connected with our audience very quickly. The crowd wasn't too wild; my side was pretty calm so Dec didn't come to interact with us as much as he did the middle and the other side. He interacted with the audience as a whole multiple times and was very humbled by everyone being so excited to be there. The amount of energy he exerted into his performance and every song was unlike anything I'd seen. You could tell how much his music and the show meant to him just from watching him perform.

After the show, he came out from backstage to meet fans by the merchandise table, and Declan was so incredibly kind and sweet to every single fan he met! My friend and I talked with him briefly about Arcade Fire and we got photos with him and he took his time to talk with every single one of us, so that was a very cool detail. I also got to meet Matt Shultz from Cage the Elephant after the show (!!!!!) since his brother's band was the opener. Overall, his performance was phenomenal and I would 100% recommend seeing Declan if you haven't already because he absolutely blew me and everyone else away.

Report as inappropriate

I went to Declan's concert at the KOKO.

It was great. Music was great, support was great, everything was great... apart from one thing.

Declan or anyone else couldn't have really changed this but I felt like the crowd wasn't as welcoming as the crowds from oter concerts I have been to. The vibe from some people (not everyone some were actually really nice)was a bit unfriendly. Sometimes I felt really unwelcome. The crowd, especially on the floor, was not great. It's hard to explain. But I think it was just this concert. I have seen other videos of Declan on this tour and people seemed really nice so I guess it was just at this one. I also talked to my frends who went with me and they didn't agree with me on this, so it also might just be me.

But Declan was amazing. Loved it. Support band, Feet was great too. I've started listening to their music too.

Overall, great concert. would go again.

It was amazing I loved it! Before the show, I got to meet the opening band Dan Luke and The Raid while waiting outside in line and they were so nice! At the venue, it was very easy to find a good spot to watch from. Declan came out on stage in a mask before the show started and the crowd went wild. The show itself was great! My mom recorded most of the show for me so I could enjoy the show in the moment and look back later. After the show, I bought merch from both Declan and the opening act. It was very affordable merch so I was happy. I got a picture with Dan Luke and The Raid and I got to meet/take a picture with Declan Mckenna which was amazing! Declan was so nice and sweet! I would love to go to another show of his when he comes back to the states, which I'm sure he will because he's going to blow up one day.

If you are considering going to see Declan live, you should. You won't regret it.

I became a fan of Declan after discovering Paracetamol and instantly fell in love with his passionate singing and songwriting. However, live you can see the emotion in his eyes.

He is a born entertainer and loves interacting with the crowd whether that's touching hands with fans or crowd-surfing. He even climbed on the speaker in front of me. He was literally above me and I even managed to capture the moment on my phone.

You can clearly tell how much Declan adores music from the love he gives to us fans each show.

I will definitely go see Declan again and you should too. No matter whether it is your first time or twenty seventh time, the show will be one to remember.

The show was phenomenal~ the venue was intimate, and the opening act brought their own unique energy that made for a happy crowd, all the while hyping them up for the main act. Each and every audience member felt personally addressed by McKenna's performance, especially given that he left the stage more than once, at one point even running up to the the balcony and preceding to jump down among the crowd, but not before giving everyone up there a high five. Lastly, for a moving encore, both acts came on stage together to perform 'Listen To Your Friends'. The vibe in the room was good and the energy high. To top it all off, both bands stuck around after the show to sign merch and take pictures, embracing the fans and making everyone's week.

Declan is a singer worth seeing! At the Sinclair, he came on a bit late but Dan Luke and The Raid played and kept us entertained! When he came on, he was so hyped and ready that he got the crowd really excited and myself included! He had such great interactions with the fans, he threw things out (mostly flowers), and he even crowd surfed a couple of times! He eventually climbed a balcony and landed on others and I! I really loved the energy and the passion he brought on Tuesday night to Cambridge, he made this concert experience the best I've ever been to. I look forward to seeing him back in the states. I highly recommend going to see him!

High energy performance, which delivered and expanded expectations. Although he was ill, Declan managed to powerfully portray is musical repertoire in an engaging, and what look effortless performance. As this was a Halloween show, him and his band were dressed up in Ghostbusters attire and even added an extra musical number, the theme song, to their setlist. The banter and chemistry between Declan and the band was clear with the hilarious back-and-forth comments between them. The crowd clearly enjoyed themselves and fed off the excellent energy from the performers. Overall, a brilliant performance with many stand out moments.

Seeing Declan live was an EXPERIENCE. He’s so talented and his songs are so fun to dance and sing along to. I also loved how small the venue was because it was an intimate show, my favorite types of shows. Declan is also the sweetest + he met people after the show. His opening act, Chappell Roan was the cutest and she lit up with happiness every time we would cheer her on. Both her and Declan are so talented and deserve more recognition. If you have the chance to see Declan, do it!! It’s such a nice environment and small shows like this don’t happen often, especially with growing artists.

Really enjoyable. We sat in the circle. He did a great selection of songs mixing in the hits (or more popular songs). Second time i have seen him but the first was in a festival so Monday night was definitely an improvement. I didnt understand why people were making mosh pits when looking down at the crowds as he's quite chilled. Really enjoyed it overall was so glad I could go and I will definitely be seeing him again!! Come back to Manchester soon xx

Declan was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was super fun and hyped and everyone was so pumped!! He is RADICAL live and super energetic! It was definitely the best and most fun concert I have ever been to and meaningful because we all got to share in a special moment with Declan and his band when they played one of their new, unreleased songs for us!! ❤ Absolutely marvelous experience, you should totally go see him if you can, he is SO fun!!!!

Edinburgh International Festival

Declan mckenna.

Revel in the euphoria of What Happened To The Beach?, a sun-drenched new record by Declan McKenna.

British singer-songwriter Declan McKenna is celebrated for his blend of lo-fi pop and indie-rock, punctuated with thought-provoking and political lyrics.

With three albums now under his belt, McKenna’s breakthrough was back in 2015. After winning the Glastonbury Festival’s Emerging Talent competition, he self-released ‘Brazil’, a protest song which confronted corruption during the FIFA World Cup. His political activism didn’t stop there: he tackled LGBTQ+ issues, the UK government’s foreign policy and the climate catastrophe.

Spurred on by the ‘voice of a generation’ label that started following him around, McKenna retaliated by taking a step away from the serious. McKenna’s latest album - What Happened To The Beach? - sheds the overwhelming responsibility he felt to be the moral compass of Gen Z. In the footsteps of McKenna, let yourself loose in the surreal lyrics, synth bassoons and sonic dreamscape of this euphoric record.

Award winning singer, songwriter and musician Declan McKenna is adding to Halifax to his tour and coming to The Victoria Theatre this July!

Kicking off in Halifax on 27th July the tour follows on from his hugely successful UK & European tour earlier this year which saw Declan play to sell-out crowds including a euphoric show at London’s Alexandra Palace, his biggest headline show to date. 

Declan’s run of spring live shows landed hot on the heels of his third record ‘What Happened To The Beach?’, an album basking in the warmth of the LA sunshine where Declan decamped to record with Gianluca Buccellati (Arlo Parks, Lana Del Rey). The album sees a more relaxed songwriter, revelling in space and atmosphere, allowing himself to be a bit weirder, a bit wonkier and gleefully defying expectations.

The Stalls level for this event is STANDING. Please note that any lost hard copy tickets for the standing area cannot be re-issued or replace if lost. We therefore recommend you select e-tickets for the stalls. 

Praise for ‘What Happened To The Beach?’  -

“The 25-year old’s excellent third album recalls the White Album for its breezily reckless invention.” ★★★★ The Guardian

“With early solo Macca and Supergrass's Alright as its slacker-pop primers, the Hertfordshire singer's third album is a delight.”  ★★★★ Sunday Times

“Few recent albums have sounded this authentically psychedelic.” ★★★★ The Times

“An exercise in pure, creative optimism.” ★★★★ NME

“A landmark moment for an artist continuing to scale the greatest of heights.” ★★★★★ DORK

“Decidedly mature yet still with that same self-aware playfulness, this is undoubtedly his most eclectic offering to date.” ★★★★ DIY Magazine

“At just 25 years of age, the already twice-crowned prince of indie is now entering a third entirely unique era of his art.” 9/10 The Line of Best Fit

“His third is a fun yet wonderfully composed record that sounds radically different to what he’s produced before.” ★★★★ Clash

* Ticket prices include a Theatre Support Fee when booking via our Box Office and online. No other charges are applied.

Declan McKenna on working with CMAT: “She’s got the gift of the gab”

He also told NME about his plans for Glastonbury and exploring "classic songwriting" on his next album

Declan McKenna has spoken to NME about working with CMAT , as well as his plans for Glastonbury and new material.

• READ MORE:  Declan McKenna on the journey to his joy-filled third album: “The whole process has been empowering”

The singer-songwriter and past Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition winner was speaking to NME backstage at last week’s BBC Radio One Big Weekend, where hailed fellow performer CMAT over the work they did together on her latest album, ‘Crazymad, For Me ‘.

“We’ve got a song called ‘Vincent Kompany’ that we wrote together and I helped her out with,” he said.  “Her brain works incredibly quickly when you’re working with her.

“She’s got the gift of the gab, which is part of her songwriting capabilities, always coming up with little quips. Lots of fun times.”

He added that the pair have also “written a few other bits that could come to fruition”.

McKenna, who recently announced a UK headline tour , also spoke about his upcoming set at this year’s Glastonbury festival .

“It will be my fifth time playing, and a bigger show than I’ve had before,” he said. “It will be my first time there with full visuals and we have a fairly late spot compared with the ones I’ve done before, so it feels like the show will be a different energy.”

McKenna also made headlines when he performed on iconic kids’ TV show Blue Peter earlier this year.

“I don’t really know how that came about but it was really cool,” he said. “It was something that I grew up watching and I got my Blue Peter badge, which I’m absolutely chuffed with,” he said.

“I love kids TV and music and I feel there’s something really great about all the old Sesame Streets .  Paul Simon played on it and I really like the idea of making music for that sort of thing in the future because there’s something nostalgic and pure about it.

He added: “I’m a big fan of that whole genre really.”

Talking about the response to his third album ‘What Happened to the Beach? ’, McKenna said he was pleased that fans had taken to it as “something different”.

“People have taken each album differently, depending on what they want from it, but overwhelmingly it’s been very positive,” he said. “I’m really happy with it and, with each album, I’m trying to do something that feels like I’m pushing myself into something else and not just trying to give people the same hit and kick.”

McKenna added that he had already started working on new music, but he’s still “figuring out which avenue to go down.

“I have stuff left over from the last project, and then there’s stuff that’s almost the polar opposite because I wanted to do something a bit more stripped back,” he said. “It’s just about deciding the direction, but it’s good in a way because I think, working the way that I do, where I set my sights on a project being one particular way, it really sends you in a direction.

“It’s like ‘next time I’ve got to do the opposite as that’s where I’m full of ideas, where I’ve drained this sort of tank.”

He added that a lot of the music he has been working on recently is “quite simple and based around normal, classic songwriting”.

“This album was very much based around the grooves and the vibes and the sounds and things just feeling really nice,” he said. “Obviously the lyrics came with it, but there’s something where now when I’m working on stuff, it feels very personal and direct and simpler – just about writing nice songs and recording them in a simple way.”

He added that he “might try to produce a lot of it myself now, but we’ll see”.

McKenna’s full upcoming UK headline dates are below, with tickets available here .

JULY 27 – Halifax, Victoria Theatre 28 – Bridlington, Spa

AUGUST 9 – Bexhill, De La Warr Pavilion 11 – Nottingham, Rock City 12 – Edinburgh, Playhouse Theatre 

In  a four-star review of McKenna’s latest record ,  NME  wrote: “On ‘What Happened To The Beach?’, perfectionism is released to make space to revel in creativity, resulting in a truly joyful effort.”
