Germany has emerged as a key market for The High Kings, ranking among the top five consumers of their music with the tour covering major cities including Munich, Stuttgart, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, and Karlsruhe, promising an unforgettable experience for fans across the country.
2024 has been a landmark year for The High Kings. They surpassed 1.6 million monthly followers on Spotify and garnered over 5 million streams in just one week this March. And since its release in June 2023, ‘The Road Not Taken’ album has achieved over 14 million streams. It has reached the number one position for independent albums in Ireland, number one in Folk, number two across all genres, and number two in singer-songwriter in the USA. Additionally, it has topped charts as the number one bestseller on Amazon Germany and number one on iTunes in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, along with a selection of top-five chart positions worldwide. Standout hits such as “Chasing Rainbows,” “The Streets of Kinsale,” “Connemara Bay,” and the poignant famine track “1845” continue to garner thousands of streams weekly.
