Hozier BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Hozier just closed out Saturday night as the headliner at the Sea Hear Now Festival on Asbury Park beach, a moment many predicted would be too big for him but one he silenced all doubters with. Glide Magazine details how his set was moving and intensely powerful, with his all-star band and his own strong, expressive vocals orchestrating what the crowd called a religious experience. During “Nina Cried Power,” he connected the Irish civil rights movement to the US and explicitly voiced support for equality, LGBTQ rights, immigrants, and self-determination for Palestinians, driving the message home by ending “Take Me To Church” with a dramatic video illustrating LGBTQ persecution and draping a pride flag on his mic as the band exited. According to The College of New Jersey’s Signal, fans sang every word and reveled in the “unforgettable experience,” clearly placing Hozier among the pantheon of previous headliners like Springsteen and Green Day and cementing his status as a staple big-stage artist.
Immediately following this, Hozier’s Unreal Unearth Tour is rolling on in full force, with a run at Jiffy Lube Live in Virginia just completed and a major show at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans coming up next. Reports from Virginia, recapped by HOT 99.5 and Bristow Amphitheater’s official events page, say he’s blending material from his new Unreal Unearth album as well as from the critically acclaimed Unheard and Unaired EPs, which include tracks that didn’t make the album but are quickly becoming fan favorites thanks to his emotional live performances.
On social media, fan videos from recent nights are going viral for their emotional highs, with clips of his poignant political statements and rousing “Take Me To Church” encore circulating widely. YouTube highlights and Twitter threads captured Hozier’s gesture of hanging the pride flag, his generous bandmate introductions, and his consistent message of hope and activism. So far, there’s been no word of new music releases or surprise collaborations, though rumors are always bubbling about potential live duets during festival season—none confirmed as of today.
No business ventures, endorsements, or public controversies have been reported this week. All press and fan response focus on his festival triumph and spellbinding tour performances, with critical consensus now firmly establishing Hozier as a headline-caliber artist with significant biographical impact.
