Hozier Drops Surprise 2025 World Tour & New Single—Everything Fans Need to Know

Irish singer-songwriter Hozier is packing 2025 with milestones, new music and a massive North-American trek—putting fans on alert for some of the year’s hottest tickets. A decade of “Take Me To Church”: 10-year anniversary reissue On 16 May 2025, Island/Rubyworks will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hozier’s self-titled debut by issuing limited-edition double-vinyl pressings in baby-blue, opaque-custard and olive-green colorways. Each set adds fan-favorite B-sides like “In The Woods Somewhere” and “Arsonist’s Lullabye,” while the gatefold artwork nods to the original 2014 cover that turned “Take Me To Church” into a global anthem. New EP “Unaired” arrives this month Keeping with his prolific release schedule—Eat Your Young (2023) and Unheard (2024) both hit streaming in the past 18 months—Hozier drops Unaired on 16 August. The four-track collection pulls together outtakes from the Unreal Unearth era, with rumored titles “Nobody’s Soldier,” “July” and “That You Are.” Hozier says the tracks were initially left off for “conceptual flow, not quality,” stoking curiosity among listeners who made “Too Sweet” a viral smash last spring. Summer 2025 North-American tour To toast both the anniversary reissue and his expanding EP trilogy, Hozier launches a 31-date summer run across the U.S. and Canada beginning 6 June in Manchester, TN (Bonnaroo) and wrapping 31 August in Vancouver, BC. The itinerary slots headline sets at Governors Ball, Summerfest and Minnesota Yacht Club between amphitheater nights in Chicago, Los Angeles and Toronto. Rising alt-pop artist Gigi Perez will open most shows, while previously postponed stops in Casper, WY, and Billings, MT, have been rescheduled for 23–24 July.
