Our beloved Davy Knowles is set to return to the island for a special headline show during TT 2026. This much-anticipated event will take place at the historic Gaiety Theatre on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, where Davy will be accompanied by the talented band he records and tours with in the United States.

In a recent statement about the show, Davy shared the deep connection he has with the Gaiety Theatre, expressing how it has always been a significant venue for him throughout his career. “The Gaiety has always been the pinnacle for me, the dream of a kid from Port St Mary,” he fondly remarked. His words reflect a heartfelt appreciation for the venue, which has served as a backdrop for many memorable performances.

“Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to play it many times, and it truly feels like a spiritual home.” This sense of belonging resonates deeply with both Davy and his fans, making this upcoming concert not just another show, but a reunion of sorts. He further conveyed his enthusiasm, stating, “There’s no complacency though; the feeling of wonder as I walk on and look out from the stage takes me right back to the dreams I had as a kid. It’s humbling, and a great honour every single time.”

This concert will also mark the start of Davy’s third European tour of the year, and it’s particularly special as he will be bringing his US band to the Isle of Man for the very first time. Davy expressed his excitement about his bandmates, Mike Hansen and Tod Bowers, saying, “They are two incredible and inspiring musicians that I’ve known almost since the very beginning of my adventures in the US.

” Their collaboration has flourished over the years, yielding a band dynamic that Davy describes as “something truly special – something I’m immensely proud of.”

Excited to showcase the beauty of the Isle of Man, Davy noted, “Hearing me enthuse about the homeland for so long, they can’t wait to experience the Isle of Man.” This highlights not only Davy’s passion for his roots but also his eagerness to share that with his bandmates and audience.

Adding to the evening’s excitement, local talent Brian Brough has been announced as the support act for the night. Brian is a well-versed singer/songwriter who has graced the stage with multiple original bands over the years, promising to set a vibrant tone for Davy’s performance.

Davy’s last visit to the island was just earlier this month, where he graced the stage at the Centenary Centre in Peel for a captivating three-night run with the Band of Friends, which included members from Rory Gallagher’s original touring band, Gerry McAvoy and Brendan O’Neill. This continued engagement with the local music scene emphasizes Davy’s commitment to his roots while also showcasing the talent that the Isle of Man has to offer.
