It comes after the artist, who is now based in Belfast, previously supported Weller in Dublin and Limerick.



He released his first single in September 2020 and began performing live the following year.

It was in 2023 that Weller spotted Houston following the release of his third album, ‘Vehicular Suicide’.

Houston told the BBC “it was hard to believe” adding that it would be “naive” to act like he knows what to expect from the tour, but that it will certainly be “an adventure”.
