Hozier is set to play his first-ever show in Atlantic Canada next fall at the 2025 Sommo Festival in Cavendish, P.E.I.

The Grammy-nominated singer is the first headliner to be announced for the third edition of the annual festival, which will take place Sept. 13 and 14.

“When we asked the fans who they would most like to see in year three the resounding response was Hozier - and we can't wait for his Sommo debut next summer. I would strongly recommend getting tickets before they are gone because we expect next year to be our biggest year yet,” said Ben Murphy, CEO of Whitecap Entertainment, in a news release.

The Sommo Festival is a two-day event filled with live music and culinary experiences.

Known for hits like “Take Me To Church,” and “Too Sweet,” the Irish singer will hit the Sommo stage on Sept. 14.

“We're thrilled to announce that Sommo Festival is returning to Cavendish this September,” said Murphy.

Tickets are on sale now.
