Belfast and the North

Belfast has been a UNESCO City of Music since 2021. The Ulster Hall and the Grand Opera House are the two big old rooms in the city centre, and Belfast TradFest runs every summer. Derry has the Millennium Forum and hosts Other Voices. Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, the All-Ireland Fleadh, comes to Belfast from the 1st to the 8th of August 2027.

Fáilte Ireland’s listings stop at the border, so gigs in the North do not show in the list above. The venues do: they are under Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Fermanagh and Tyrone.
