Dermot Kennedy: Meet & Greet + Signing

Dermot Kennedy is heading to Resident Music in Brighton on Saturday, 4th April 2026. The singer, songwriter, and storyteller will be at the shop for a meet and greet session to mark the release of his latest album, The Weight of the Woods. This event is set up for those who want to pick up a copy of the record and have it signed by the artist in person. It is a straightforward opportunity to meet him at the store located at 28 Kensington Gardens, BN1 4AL. The shop has confirmed that visitors should be in the store on that Saturday to participate in the signing and meet the artist.

Access to the event involves a few different options depending on what you are looking for. Standard entry is priced at £16.82. For those looking for more specific access, there are also VIP and fan packages available, with prices ranging from $375 up to $5,000. These higher-tier options include different levels of access, such as backstage or front-row placement, though it is worth noting that the meet and greet spots are limited. The event is focused on the signing session and the chance to meet the artist, so there is no live concert scheduled as part of this specific visit to the shop. It is a chance to see the artist in a more intimate setting than a typical tour venue.

Kennedy, who is originally from Dublin, has been active with recent projects like Honest, Refuge, Funeral, and Melodies, alongside collaborations with artists such as NBA YoungBoy and Bailey Zimmerman on the track Won't Back Down. His visit to Brighton is part of his current promotional activities for The Weight of the Woods. If you are planning to head down to Kensington Gardens, the shop will be hosting the session throughout the day, providing a space for fans to engage with the artist and his work directly. It is a chance to pick up the new album and interact with the artist in a local setting, which is a common format for Resident Music when hosting musicians passing through the city.
