STRATFORD, CANADA – Award-winning Canadian singer and songwriter Loreena McKennitt has just announced a nine-country, 30-concert European tour for the spring of 2027.
The Mask and Mirror 30th Anniversary Tour will launch Feb. 22 in Groningen, The Netherlands and wrap up April 3 in Paris, France, with performances in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and the United Kingdom.
The spring dates represent the third leg of McKennitt’s anniversary tour, which celebrates her 1994 studio release The Mask and Mirror, an album that has often been described as a defining moment in her career, celebrated for its ‘cross-cultural fertilization,’ weaving together Celtic, Spanish and Moroccan influences. When it was released, the LA Times described it as “music full of somber depths, spiritual longings and age-old echoes.” The album, which the artist herself considers “a historical and musical pilgrimage,” has sold more than two million copies worldwide.
McKennitt says she followed “paths of inspiration” and that the album “examines questions that echo down the centuries – Who was God? What is religion, what spirituality? What was revealed and what was concealed and what was the mask and what the mirror?”
“We’re thrilled to return to Europe for another chapter of The Mask and Mirror Anniversary Tour, following the first leg in southern Europe in the summer of 2024, where we performed at many of the outdoor festivals,” said McKennitt. “It has been fascinating to once again engage with music inspired by questions exploring not only the history of the Celts, but also the timeless subjects of religion, spirituality, and moral conundrums — that carry a fresh resonance today. We can’t wait to see everyone again and to share the music.”
The second leg of The Mask and Mirror Anniversary Tour will be taking place in Eastern Canada this fall, beginning Oct. 13, 2026 in Moncton, NB. and concluding in Montréal on Nov. 2.
The tour was first launched in Europe in the summer of 2024. Due to high demand for tickets and many sold-out performances, additional shows had to be added.
The first set of each performance on the tour will feature ‘fan favourites,’ while the second set will include every song, in order from the album. McKennitt will be accompanied by musical companions Caroline Lavelle on cello, Brian Hughes on guitar, Hugh Marsh on violin, Dudley Phillips on bass and Robert Brian on drums.
Tickets for the spring 2027 tour go on sale Friday April 24th.
