Declan Benedict McKenna is an English singer, songwriter, music producer, and political activist whose musical journey began with his self-released December 2014 debut single “Brazil”. The single is a protest song against both Fifa and the Fifa World Cup that was held in Brazil in 2014. At the time of penning the single, McKenna felt that the issue of poverty was ignored in Brazil when the Fifa World Cup was held there.
McKenna went on to win the Glastonbury Festival’s Emerging Talent Competition in 2015 and released his debut album What Do You Think About The Car? in 2017. The singer’s much-awaited second studio album Zeros was not released until September 4th 2020 following multiple delays, due to the Covid 19 Pandemic.
The singer’s announcement follows the release, of his live film from his Brixton Academy September concert date. The film was released on November 18th and was available for free viewing on the musician’s Vevo site. McKenna’s Zeros tour named after his second studio album was rescheduled in September when he tested positive for Covid 19 for the second time and had to reschedule his Manchester tour dates. The musician has added his Liverpool, Nottingham and Manchester dates to the beginning of his rescheduled tour dates in May.
