Rising Northern Irish country artist Gareth continues his rapid ascent with the release of his new single ‘Don’t Say,' arriving just ahead of his return to the UK and Europe for The Uncut Tour this month. The track marks the first taste of more new music to come in 2026, as Gareth builds on a breakout year that has taken him from his hometown of Castlederg to stages across the world.
Penned by heavyweight Nashville writers Jerry Flowers, Zach Crowell and Josh Osborne, ‘Don’t Say' blends Gareth’s emotional storytelling with a polished, modern country edge. Speaking about the track, he describes the collaboration as a key step in shaping his artistry, with more music set to follow throughout the year. The release arrives during a landmark period for the singer, who recently completed his first headline tour in Australia and made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry, a major milestone that underscores his growing international profile.
The Uncut Tour will see Gareth take in a run of intimate headline shows alongside major festival appearances, including The Great Escape, High Chaparral Country Festival in Sweden and Fortified Festival in Castlederg. The dates follow a busy 12 months that included his first US tour, standout appearances at C2C and The Long Road Festival, and touring alongside Kip Moore, as well as the release of his EP ‘Bluebird.'
