The Swell Season

The Swell Season Returns

The Swell Season is back. After reconvening for a limited number of sold-out shows in March 2022, followed by a more extensive US tour in August 2023, the duo returns with new music.

New Album: Forward

A studio session that started out as an effort to create a couple new singles to bring with them on tour ended up yielding a full-length album, fittingly titled 'Forward'. Although The Swell Season released a standalone single 'The Answer Is Yes' in June 2023, 'Forward' will be their first full-length album in 16 years. The album consists of 8 tracks written by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, who take turns singing the lead. Building on the foundation of and with respect to their shared history, they move forward as two equals, supporting and lifting each other up.

Musical Collaboration

Accompanied by old band members Joe Doyle, Marja Gaynor, and Bertrand Galen, joined by Piero Perelli, and produced by Sturla Mio Thorisson, they create a sound both old and new for The Swell Season.

Children under the age of 6 are not allowed at this DPAC event, and all guests require a ticket, regardless of age.
