Kodaline

Kodaline

16 Jun 2026 - 16 Dec 2026

‘One Day At A Time’ is Kodaline's fourth album, and adds a new chapter to a career that has already encompassed three #1 albums in Ireland, two Top 5 albums in the UK, and more than a billion streams at Spotify. Kodaline approached the album with a streamlined process that took them back to their roots. The majority of the sessions revolved around the four band members alone in their modest recording space in Dublin, with bassist Jason Boland leading the production side of things. The band’s primary objective was to focus on the emotion that has informed many Kodaline fan favourites. As we’ve seen from the two recent singles, they’re playing to their strengths: insistent melodies and captivating hooks exploring stories that are revealing, unguarded and immediately relatable. “The main thing this time was to capture those emotions through everything,” says frontman Steve Garrigan. “We also wanted to use a lot of harmonies and play to our strengths.” In 2019, Kodaline played some of the biggest shows of their career. At home in Dublin they sold-out two huge outdoor shows at St. Anne’s Park, while a ten-date UK tour culminated with a packed show in London. Further afield, they hit festivals including Lollapalooza, Benicàssim and Open’er before becoming the first Irish band to headline the massive NH7 Weekender in Pune, India. Their extensive touring throughout Asia also included a headline set at Monsoon Music Festival in Vietnam plus dates in China, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan and Singapore.

Tommy Emmanuel

29 Jul 2026 - 1 Nov 2026

Two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel is one of Australia’s most respected musicians. The legendary guitarist has a professional career that spans five decades and continues to intersect with some of the finest musicians throughout the world. A household name in his native Australia, Tommy has garnered hundreds of thousands of loyal fans worldwide. Tommy’s unique style – he calls it simply “finger style” – is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers. Rather than using a whole band for melody, rhythm, bass, and drum parts, Tommy plays all that – and more – on one guitar. Guitar legend Chet Atkins was one of the first to inspire Emmanuel to try this “fingerpicker” style as a child. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel’s biggest fans. Tommy Emmanuel is an honorary Kentucky Colonel, a CGP (Certified Guitar Player – a title given by Chet Atkins to only 5 guitarists in the world), an Order of Australia Medalist (AM) and the holder of both an honorary Master’s Degree (MA) and more recently an honorary Doctor of Arts (DR) from Charles Sturt University in Australia in recognition of his commitment to rural Australia and his contribution to music education.

Like good wine, ‘The Three Amigos’ just become even better with the passing years. When Jimmy Buckley, Robert Mizzell and Patrick Feeney initially took to the road several years ago under this particular concert banner, it was deemed as an ambitious step, a concept that was regarded by many as rather too adventurous. But from the word go ‘The Three Amigos’ concept has basked in unparalleled success – so much so, indeed, that their first ever Performance in Scotland is eagerly awaited by their many thousands of devoted U.K based fans and indeed by those who have yet to hear them. While the trio have long since achieved significant success on an individual front, it’s as a high-octane, hugely versatile and flamboyant trio that they continue to scale new peaks in entertainment terms. An ongoing shared desire to challenge themselves in upgrading, modifying and indeed enhancing their stage show has now seen ‘The Three Amigos’ set standards which others can only hope to achieve. Their concerts have long since become a byword for excellence. No stone is left unturned in striving to offer patrons a generous helping of various genres of music including country, standards, ballads and rock n’ roll – in short, ‘The Three Amigos’ are the real deal. Jimmy Buckley’s slick, smoothly-delivered country material is complemented by his ability to switch to beguiling slow numbers, Robert Mizzell’s familiar upbeat country repertoire never fails to elicit a rapturous response and Patrick Feeney’s deft interpretation of Irish country songs is embossed by his captivating presentation of familiar ballads and Gospel Songs which seldom fail to strike a chord with the audience.
Proud Mary

Proud Mary

30 Oct 2026 - 30 Oct 2026

´´I remember early spring, I remember everything…” And early Spring 2001 it was when Proud Mary first appeared on the scene. Proud Mary’s first single Very Best Friend was just a small taste of the infectious songs that the band had to offer – later followed by another limited single in the form of All Good Things. The two singles were just a taster of the band’s glorious debut album The Same Old Blues, produced by Noel Gallagher in just ten days and released on Gallagher’s very own Sour Mash records. The influences of Dylan, The Rolling Stones and The Faces were there to be heard yet at the same time the band had managed to create a Rock’n’Roll record that touched the heart and fed the soul of the current generation. The second album Love and Light included the indie chart hit Mexico and features work from Andy Rourke (The Smiths) and Gordon Raphael (The Strokes). A more experimental album than their debut, the tracks mix soul, blues, gospel and of course good old fashioned Rock’n’Roll.

Ulster Youth Orchestra Summer Concert

Ulster Youth Orchestra Summer Concert

16 Aug 2026 - 16 Aug 2026

The award-winning Ulster Youth Orchestra presents its Summer Concert on 16 August 2026 when 93 talented young musicians will bring energetic, high quality orchestral music to Ulster Hall stage! Conductor: Jac van Steen Assistant Conductor: Max Todes Soprano: Rebecca Murphy Programme: Sam Kane: Journey to the Otherworld (UK & Irish premiere) Harty: The Children of Lir Rachmaninov: Symphonic Dances, Op.45 On Wednesday 12th August, the Orchestra will perform this programme at the Konzerthaus in Berlin as part of the prestigious Young Euro Classic Festival and following a ten day residential course in Berlin, returns to Belfast for its showcase finale. The Ulster Youth Orchestra (UYO) provides high quality musical tuition, orchestral experience and performance opportunities, not otherwise available in Northern Ireland. Through its residential courses, concerts, outreach programmes and special projects, the orchestra provides young musicians with much-needed access and exposure to the very best professional tutors and the chance to study under established international conductors such as Jac van Steen. This summer's concert opens with a new piece, Journey to the Otherworld, especially commissioned by the Orchestra for the Young Euro Classic Festival in Berlin. Composer Sam Kane was raised on a farm in rural Northern Ireland and began his musical journey playing traditional Irish music before discovering his passion for classical violin and composition - across orchestral, chamber and solo performance. He is driven by a love of musical storytelling and this work is inspired by an old Irish folktale - the Voyage of Bran. Bran sets sail to the underworld, encourages many mythical beings, sails through a 'sea of glass' and encounters strange creatures who accompany him on his journey, only to turn to dust when they set foot on dry land. The next piece is also based on an old Irish folktale. The Children of Lir by Hamilton Harty tells the tragic story of King Lir's four children-Finola, Aodh, Fiachra, and Conn-transformed into swans for 900 years by their jealous stepmother, Aoife. Condemned to spend centuries on different Irish waters, they retained human speech and song until rescued by a monk and a tolling bell. Soprano Rebecca Murphy is heard as Finola, singing a wordless song of weariness and longing. The closing piece, Symphonic Dances, is Rachmaninov's own swansong, being his final orchestral masterpiece. The Symphonic Dances is full of vibrant colour and driving rhythms with an impressively dramatic ending to conclude the evening.

Their latest single ‘Heart Attack’ marked their first new music since 2019, and the debut release in their latest incarnation with Ivor Novello winning composer and producer Benjamin John Power, aka Blanck Mass, who joins the band as a full time member. With its pulsating electronic intensity, sweeping 80’s inspired synths and epic, driving drum pads, ‘Heart Attack’ is the perfect introduction to Editors’ new era, whilst also fitting seamlessly into the band’s songbook; its gothic sonics and Tom Smith’s brooding vocals making it instantly recognisable. “Heart Attack is a song of obsession, about losing yourself in someone, a love song, a morbid love song,” says Smith. Having previously collaborated with Editors, bringing additional production to their sixth album, Violence, Benjamin John Power joins Smith, Justin Lockey, Elliott Williams, Russell Leetch and Ed Lay and ushers in another bold chapter for a band who have never stood still creatively. A band that has refused to stay still over the course of their 17 year career, ‘Heart Attack’ kicks off the next era of one of the UK’s most intriguing and enduring musical success stories. All 6 of Editors’ studio albums have charted in the UK top 10, with 2 scoring number 1’s, and their debut, The Back Room, being shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.

Björn Again. The original Australian ABBA Homage has amassed over 5,800 shows in 78 countries in 39 years. Rod Stephen had previously been working in metallurgical research when at the age of 29 and inspired by legendary New Zealand band Split Enz’s musicianship and theatrics opted for a career change to create a new concept by revisiting the music and fashion of the 1970s. Rod had originally considered basing a nostalgic show on one of three all time top bands, The Beatles, Queen and ABBA but believing that the latter globally encapsulated all that was good (and maybe some not so good?) about the 1970s decided ABBA was ideal to focus his efforts on. After countless auditions and months of rehearsals and studying music and videos all Rod then needed was to devise a great show format to go with the name…and then the BJÖRN AGAIN show was ready to rock and roll !!! Having been acknowledged by BJÖRN ULVAEUS as being the show that single-handedly initiated the ABBA revival in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the BJÖRN AGAIN show is hailed as the most popular and successful show of its type.

Ed just wants to live a life free of hassles or drama. He feels he’s earned it, but the world has other plans for him. Come, hear the conquistador of petty gripes air his grievances with a world hell bent on irritating the bejeezus out of us all and, who knows, perhaps it will make you feel better about your own bouts of impotent rage.
