The singer-songwriter released second album ‘Zeros’ last year, and recently finished up a UK headline tour in support of the record. His show at London’s Brixton Academy back in September has since been turned into a live film, which came out last week.

For the new show at the Royal Albert Hall on May 2 next year, McKenna says that the show is “for one night only” and that he’ll “be joined by a bunch of friends” at the gig.

Get all the details below, with pre-sale tickets available here from 9am GMT on Wednesday (November 24).
