We follow the Hozier Tour 2018 in Seattle, Portland and Vancouver, concluding this North American leg. Hozier made a quick return to New York before the band took a scheduled break in advance of the start of the Europe 2018 Tour on 11 November. Additional links on the venue names and text throughout have more photos and videos to share.

The Paramount Theatre – Seattle, WA

Setlist
Review from The Spectator.
It’s always fun to see clips of Murt going about his business. Best guitar tech in the industry! (Not that we’re biased. 😉 )
To Be Alone
Say My Name
Say My Name has become a great opportunity for audience participation. And Kristen Rogers’ vocals steal the show as usual!
Movement
Hozier shows always have the most incredible lighting.
Take Me to Church
Hozier continues to grow as a performer. Over the course of the tour, he has increased his engagement with the audience, but tonight Hozier took things to a whole new level! He descended from the stage to meet the crowd at the barrier leading them in a sing-a-long of Take Me To Church.
19 October 2018
Roseland Theater – Portland, OR
Capacity: 1,400
Support: Hudson Taylor

Introduction to Shrike
“It’s a grisly, kind of vicious, but very pretty little thing. And I suppose it felt like an appropriate theme for a love song.”
Arsonist’s Lullabye
Say My Name
When you’re as tall as Hozier, sometimes you have to kneel to hold the mic just right for the audience to join in!
Take Me To Church
This time Hozier descended into the pit and climbed the back of the barrier to the surprise of those in the first few rows.
