Her hits include Any Man of Mine, That Don’t Impress Me Much, You’re Still the One and Man! I Feel Like A Woman!.

Twain is currently working on new material for her seventh album due for release in 2026 on Republic Records. Her biopic is also in development, along with other film and TV projects.

A globally touring artist and regular residency performer in Las Vegas, Twain has been a main stage and headline artist at many festivals, including Glastonbury, Austin City Limits and Festival D’ete.

After the sell-out success of her current tour, Raised on Songs & Stories, the singer-songwriter will return to Dublin’s Vicar Street on June 9 and 10, followed by her biggest Irish show of the year at Live at the Marquee in Cork on June 12.

The shows will feature new stripped-back versions of her wide discography and favourite songs, integrated with her famed poetry and storytelling.

Speaking about the upcoming gigs, May said: “Due to popular demand there’s some more dates coming. I’ve been asked back to Vicar St in Dublin and Live At The Marquee in Cork this June, it’s just gone mad. Everybody’s wanting to come to the gigs and I’m getting messages everywhere from people saying they’ve missed it and can we do some more. So we’re doing some more.” 

Tickets will go on sale Thursday, March 12 at 10am via Ticketmaster.ie.
