Info zu This Is Where The Show Begins

Fresh from completing a critically acclaimed UK tour supporting rock supergroup The Dead Daisies, Liverpool’s rising rock sensation Dan Byrne is set to embark on his most ambitious chapter yet. In March 2026, he will headline venues across the country on his newly announced “Live… In The Moment” UK Tour, where he will debut brand-new material from his forthcoming debut album. Dubbed by Planet Rock Radio as a “Voice of a Generation” and hailed by Classic Rock Magazine as “One to Watch”, Byrne has quickly carved out a reputation as the UK’s most exciting new voice in rock. His 2024 single “Death of Me” held a place on the Planet Rock AList for 11+ weeks, further cementing his status as an artist whose music connects on both an epic and emotional scale. Following the release of his debut EP Beginnings and a run of singles that dominated radio airwaves, Byrne has toured the UK with legends such as Tyketto, stormed major UK rock festivals, and appeared at Planet Rock’s 25th Birthday celebration alongside Black Star Riders and The Answer, as well as the station’s Winter’s End Festival. His track record already includes 25+ weeks of playlisted airtime on Planet Rock, extensive support and features from BBC Radio and a headline debut UK tour that established him as a must-see live act. Now, with a wealth of new music crafted over the past year and his debut album on the horizon, Byrne’s sights are firmly set on 2026. The “Live… In The Moment” tour marks not just a new run of shows, but the beginning of a bold new chapter for an artist already hailed as one of modern rock’s most compelling new voices.

“This album has been a long time coming for me and many of my fans, so I’ve truly poured my heart and soul into it. The journey to get here has been a wild one. Full of moments that shaped me, challenged me, and pushed me further than I ever expected to go as a young lad from Liverpool. I’ve lived with these songs for a little while now, and I’m so proud to finally release them into the world. It feels incredible”. (Dan Byrne)

"There is no denying Dan has left Revival Black behind and stands here on the precipice of greatness and he has done it on his own two feet, with his own vision. I have never read a more apt title than this albums. I can see the road in front of Dan Byrne and it is long and winding but I truly have no idea where the summit may be as the quality of this debut album can only be an indication of just how far he can go." (Ritchie Birnie, metalplanetmusic.com)

"With This Is Where The Show Begins, Dan Byrne shows he knew exactly what type of album he wanted to make and delivers it with real intent. While the band are consistently excellent throughout, it is undeniably Byrne’s voice that holds it all together - powerful, expressive and carrying a clear lineage from the likes of Paul Rodgers, David Coverdale and Jay Buchanan without ever sounding like imitation. Leaning far more towards hard rock than AOR, the bluesy touches give enough flavour and variation to keep things interesting and there is more than enough here to pull in a wide spread of listeners. It may not be pushing boundaries in terms of experimentation but that is not really the point - the variety in the song writing and the strength of Byrne’s performance make it an engaging listen from start to finish. He has laid down the perfect foundation to step up to something bigger and there are plenty of fans of this style of music who will find this to be a confident, compelling debut." (hotelhobbies.com)

Dan Byrne

Dan Byrne
swept in off the Mersey, announcing himself as a solo artist in 2023 with his debut EP, Beginnings. His powerhouse, soul-inflected vocal and deftly-executed, yet hugely accessible songcraft has quickly marked him out as an artist on the rise. Blending contemporary edge with classic influence, Byrne’s music is powerful, honest, and deeply emotive - widescreen in scope yet intimate at its core. It rocks, without question, but what truly sets him apart is the courage to weave sensitivity and vulnerability through the intensity. This isn’t just rock music - it has the heart and authenticity to connect with an audience beyond any one genre.

In just two years Dan has toured the UK three times, delivered standout performances at multiple festivals and found overwhelming support from Planet Rock - the UK’s leading rock station - where his first four singles amassed an impressive 25 weeks on the playlist. With that foundation firmly in place, Byrne now turns his focus to the release of his long-awaited debut solo album, marking the next powerful step in his evolution as an artist.

This Is Where The Show Begins - Dan’s debut album - is full of joy and confidence. There’s a swagger alongside the sensitivity, a further broadening of musical scope. But at the centre of it, is that voice - as powerful as it is vulnerable, as emotive as it is strong.

The lead single, ‘Saviour’ - the perfect album opener - bursts to life with attention-grabbing hard-rock stabs and pile-driving riffs. Its verses simmer with drama before the tension breaks in a chorus that makes it clear we’re in for one hell of a ride. It struts, it shimmies and it absolutely rocks. “Light ’em up,” indeed. There’s no let up as we barrel headlong into ‘She’s the Devil’ - Dan weighing in with a colossal vocal punctured by gonzo guitar gymnastics, the sheer euphoria spilling forth here is palpable.

Elsewhere, we're taken to church with ‘Praise Hell’, and ‘Sober’ is stained with regret. We even perhaps get a glimpse of where Byrne is heading next with album closer ‘Home’ - a sprawling, soaring, shapeshifting piece of alt-rock which essentially is never in danger of losing its soul. It’s what Glenn Hughes and 30 Seconds To Mars might come up if they ever combined their superpowers.

This Is Where The Show Begins is the culmination of what has been an incredible journey so far. It’s a marker for what can happen when you back yourself, a calling card for following your gut. Bursting with ambition, diversity and authenticity, this is where it may truly begin for Dan, the exciting thing for us to ponder is where it should lead to next.
