Foy Vance World Tour | 2026 & 2027

Foy Vance brings his 2026 and 2027 world tour to the El Rey Theatre, billed alongside Bonnie Bishop and Ryan McMullan. The available listing identifies the three artists but offers no further detail on the evening's playing order, guest roles or whether Vance will perform with a backing band.
Born in Bangor, Northern Ireland, Vance is a singer-songwriter whose work Bandcamp describes as a soulful convergence of folk and Southern blues, drawing on the musical traditions of the American South. He is known for emotionally direct songwriting and a soulful voice, and his 16-song album IF traces nearly three decades of writing. Vance has toured with Bonnie Raitt, Michael Kiwanuka, Marcus Foster, Snow Patrol and Ed Sheeran; his songwriting credits include collaborations involving Sheeran, Sam Smith, Alicia Keys, Keith Urban, Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert. Reviewing The Wake, Clash praised its “organic warmth” and Vance's “clean yet raw” voice, while Marlbank called that voice “extraordinary” and “utterly magnetic.”
El Rey’s distinction is written into its room: a 1936 Art Deco movie palace, still dressed with chandeliers and velvet, now used for live concerts. The theatre became a music venue in 1994, so a night here pairs a preserved historic interior with a working concert hall. Expect general-admission standing on the main floor unless your show’s ticket details say otherwise; some performances offer VIP table seating in the balcony. Doors typically open an hour before showtime, and support acts may be added closer to the date, so check the event listing before heading over. The venue has cashless concessions, and its FAQ points guests to a neighboring restaurant for a bite. It remains an active venue on Wilshire Boulevard in Miracle Mile.
