The Swedish duo play 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Monday January 18th and Waterfront Hall, Belfast on Tuesday January 19th 2027 on their ‘Visions of the Past’ tour, a career-spanning show with younger brother Isak Benjamin in support.
First Aid Kit play two Irish dates on their ‘Visions of the Past’ tour in January 2027: 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Monday January 18th, which opens the UK and Ireland run, and Waterfront Hall, Belfast on Tuesday January 19th. Isak Benjamin supports on both nights.
The tour takes its name from a line in ‘Ghost Town’, a live favourite from the sisters’ 2010 debut album The Big Black and the Blue. It’s a career-spanning show they’ve already toured in Scandinavia, and they bring it to sold-out theatres across Europe this winter. Klara and Johanna Söderberg describe the shows as stripped-back and intimate, running from their very first EP in 2008 to brand new songs nobody has heard yet, with hits, deeper cuts and covers along the way. They’re also asking fans to get in touch with any rare old songs or covers they’d like to hear.
It follows two sold-out nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where the pair were joined by the 65-piece Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Erik Arvinder, and played breakthrough album Stay Gold in full in the first half of the show before moving on to a mix of old and new favourites.

The Stockholm sisters have been releasing music since they were teenagers. After The Big Black and the Blue and 2012’s The Lion’s Roar, they broke through in 2014 with Stay Gold, whose lead single ‘My Silver Lining’ has racked up hundreds of millions of streams and gone gold in the UK. 2018’s Ruins went gold in Sweden and earned them a second BRIT Award nomination, for International Group, and fifth album Palomino in 2022 led to the biggest tour of their career. They’ve collaborated with Pink, Jenny Lewis, Conor Oberst, George Ezra and Zara Larsson.
