Michael Patrick Kelly

With a new live show and freshly created music, US-Irish singer-songwriter Michael Patrick Kelly will be going on tour again in 2026 after a long break! Across Europe, the multi-instrumentalist with the unmistakable four-octave voice reached over half a million people during his last concert tour alone. With the hits from his last five solo albums, he has not only played international festival stages and sold out concerts one after the other: he has also become a favorite among audiences on the radio and TV (including "Sing meinen Song," "The Voice of Germany") with his songs and personal charisma. His extensive hit repertoire effortlessly fills two and a half hours of ultimate live atmosphere, featuring ballads, pop, and rock songs. It is true, personal, and hopeful stories that inspire him to write songs. For this reason, Kelly manages to deeply touch people across generations. Unforgettable concert evenings are also to be expected during the upcoming tour in 2026, where the audience can let their emotions run free and recharge their energy. He comes from the cult band Kelly Family, where he was able to showcase his wide musical talent early on. He has mastered guitar, piano, bass, percussion, and harmonica instruments since a young age. By the age of 18, he had already written several worldwide hits, played international stadium tours, and could no longer move unnoticed in public. He took advantage of the media interest and began to engage socially. Over the more than 25 years of his engagement, he has initiated and supported aid projects. In addition, he actively advocates for peace. His multilingualism is an asset in this regard: in addition to English and German, he speaks French, Spanish, and Dutch. At 27, he chose silence, joined a religious order, and became a monk. Michael Patrick Kelly lived in seclusion from the public in France and Belgium, studying philosophy and theology. After six years, he decided to return to music – coming back from the monastery to the big stages; with more mature songs, a growing audience, and an even larger solo career than before. He will certainly be able to impress the Vienna audience on July 31, 2026!
