The Waterboys Featuring Steve Earle Announce Fisherman's Blues Revue UK Dates

The Waterboys will perform a very special series of dates in Dublin, London and Glasgow in August and September 2026 under the banner The Fisherman's Blues Revue. The shows will celebrate and explore the music of the Waterboys' classic Fisherman's Blues era of the late 1980s.  
 
Legendary Waterboys fiddler Steve Wickham will rejoin the band for these shows, and in an exciting development the ensemble will be graced by the great American singer/songwriter Steve Earle, who will perform as a member of the Revue, singing his own songs while adding vocals, guitar and mandolin to Waterboys numbers. 
 
Steve Earle said: “I only ever wanted to be in three bands: The Rolling Stones, NRBQ and the Waterboys”. 
 
The shows will follow hot on the heels of the release of Atlantic Rain, a 3-disc set of previously undiscovered music from the Fisherman's Blues sessions, to be released 17 July 2026. 
 
Tickets go on sale here from 10am on Thursday 27th November.
