Dylan John Thomas in Manchester

Dylan John Thomas, the Glasgow-based singer-songwriter, plays Manchester on Thursday 26 November 2026 as part of a UK and Ireland headline tour. The self-taught multi-instrumentalist writes in a folk and country-leaning style, citing influences including Johnny Cash, Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen, and has built a large live following, including sold-out runs at Glasgow's Barrowland Ballroom and a headline show at the 14,300-capacity OVO Hydro.

The Manchester date follows the announcement of his second album and continues a run of shows that has taken him from small venues to arenas over a short career. Despite sharing a name with the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, the two are unrelated - this is a contemporary musician's concert, not a literary event.
