Swedish singer-songwriter Eagle-Eye Cherry, best known for global hit ‘Save Tonight’, is returning to the UK & Ireland for the first time in over 20 years, with dates in London, Glasgow, Sheffield and Dublin in May 2019.
“It’s been way too long since I played the UK & Ireland! But now I’m back on the road and I can’t wait to see y’all face to face.”

It was in 1997 that Eagle-Eye first began writing his debut album ‘Desireless’ in his bedroom in Stockholm with just an acoustic guitar and a handful of ideas. What emerged was a phenomenally successful album that peaked at number three in the UK charts, and has sold 4 million copies worldwide. ‘Desireless’ featured two top 10 UK singles ‘Falling In Love Again’ and the aforementioned ‘Save Tonight’ that for a while dominated worldwide airwaves on their release.
“Many ask if it’s a burden to have such a famous song… I really see it as ‘a good problem.’ I’m convinced I would have liked it even if someone else wrote it,” says Eagle-Eye.
Over time the pace of touring, promoting and recording took its toll on Eagle-Eye. “I got a little lost, felt a lot of pressure. I guess I was close to burning out.” Today Eagle-Eye is better at balancing the artistry, extensive, packed European tours, and his second love of acting.
Recently, after falling in love with the city of Nashville, he released album ‘Streets of You’ in 2018, a fantastic collection of personal country-tinged pop songs with the same infectious choruses that first brought him to the world’s attention. Eagle-Eye Cherry’s live shows will feature some of the best tracks from ‘Streets of You’ as well as all of his hits. Save the date.
