Niall Horan is coming to The O2 Belfast this November! Chart-topping global superstar Niall Horan has announced “DINNER PARTY” LIVE ON TOUR. Named for his new album, Dinner Party, the UK and European leg will kick off in September and finish in Belfast with two shows at The O2 Belfast. There’s something about sharing a table that feels like sharing a future and Dinner Party brings the listener into that experience with warmth, wit and sincerity. The album is cinematic and organic, with songs that play like memories being gently created. Julian Bunetta and John Ryan, Horan’s longtime collaborators, served as executive producers. His other creative partners and co-writers included Afterhrs, Amy Allen, Ian Franzino, Andrew Haas, Steph Jones, Rocky Block and Joel Little. Horan, who recently teamed up with Myles Smith on “Drive Safe,” is featured on the cover of GQ HYPE which describes Dinner Party as “a collection of sincere sepia-toned songs that Horan says he began to write in 2024 after turning 30, when he was able to slow down, reflect on the past, savour the present, and imagine his future.”

Reimagining the Belfast Showband

Harland & Wolff Staff Club · Music
What happens when Belfast’s showband legacy meets a new generation of musicians? The Strand ran as a Variety Theatre from 1984–1987 and has hosted many showbands over its 90-year history. For this event, we bring together long-standing musician George Jones of Clubsound with emerging Belfast musicians from Shamrock Showband, with special guests including Trevor Kelly. Together, they will explore the history and legacy of the showbands, their influence on Belfast’s music scene and the ways that tradition continues to inspire contemporary musicians. George will share memories and stories from the showband era – from the music and musicians to the venues, audiences and culture surrounding the scene. Shamrock Showband will take inspiration from George’s repertoire, reimagining and reinterpreting selected songs from a contemporary perspective before coming together for a special live performance. Period-inspired archive film and photographs will bring the era to life. Taking place at the historic Harland & Wolff Staff Club, this evening of conversation, archive material and live music will celebrate the golden era of the showbands while looking to the future. This pilot event marks the beginning of a longer-term Strand project exploring how Belfast’s musical heritage can be shared between generations and brought back to life.

Ocean Colour Scene

Ulster Hall · Music
Indie-rock legends Ocean Colour Scene have announced their tour for 2026, celebrating the 30th anniversary of their classic album Moseley Shoals coming to Ulster Hall on 14 & 15 November 2026! Released in April 1996, at the height of the Britpop era, Moseley Shoals was Ocean Colour Scene’s second album and immediately became a huge success. Reaching number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, Moseley Shoals featured the massive hit singles ‘The Riverboat Song’, ‘You’ve Got It Bad’, ‘The Day We Caught The Train’ and ‘The Circle’ and was certified as triple-platinum after spending an incredible 92 weeks on the chart. In August that year, Oasis invited Ocean Colour Scene to be their special guests at one of their historic concerts held at Knebworth. Performing a blistering set in front 125,000 people, Ocean Colour Scene firmly cemented their status as one of Britain’s biggest bands. For the Moseley Shoals 30th anniversary tour, in addition to playing all the highlights from Moseley Shoals, Ocean Colour Scene will play a career-spanning set to include all their other hits and fan favourites, such as ‘Hundred Mile High City’, ‘Travellers Tune’, ‘Better Day and ‘Profit In Peace’, amongst many others. Ocean Colour Scene’s lead singer Simon Fowler said, “It’s hard to believe that Moseley Shoals turns 30 in 2026. We owe so much to that album, so it’s exciting to be able to look forward this very special anniversary and celebrate with our amazing fans at some of the UK’s most prestigious venues.” Formed in Birmingham in 1989, Ocean Colour Scene began crafting songs in the spirit of the soul, folk and blues greats who inspired them, with words and melodies that would soon chime with the hearts and minds of the group’s fiercely loyal fanbase. After a few years honing their sound, Ocean Colour Scene became a household name with the release of Moseley Shoals, which was quickly followed by the Top 10 albums Marchin’ Already (1997), One From The Modern (1999) and Mechanical Drift (2001). Enjoying an incredible run of seventeen Top 40 singles - which included nine successive Top 20 singles – Ocean Colour Scene are not only one of the UK’s most successful groups, they are also renowned as one of the country’s very best live bands.
