Wild Horse Nine
Martin McDonagh returns with another tragi-comic two-hander with a razor-sharp script and outstanding performances from a stellar cast. After the success of The Banshees of Inisherin , McDonagh has turned his attention to Chile in the 1970s, where two CIA men discuss morality and mortality during a dispatch to the vanishingly remote and metaphorically rich Easter Island. With John Malkovich as the ailing Chris, mentor to Sam Rockwell’s Lee, and idiosyncratic support from Steve Buscemi, Parker Posey and Tom Waits, the film is an accidental allegory for present-day politics with trademark bittersweet notes, sweeping landscapes and strategically-placed horses.

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.”

Sex in Public
Details A performance by Emma Wolf-Haugh re-staged by Lyónn Wolf, followed by a conversation with Matty Kennedy. Lives at the intersections of systems of oppression are threatened on the streets, by lovers, in the bedroom and in the bushes. How do we maintain spaces for shared sensual/sexual pleasure and care when personal safety is at risk? Sex in Public is a hissing ephemeral moment of queer abundance and potentiality, a horizon in the midst of deprivation, denial, trauma and violence. Through this generative exercise, Sex in Public seeks to activate a colloquialism of queer reclamation, staking ownership to spaces and networks under queer economies of care. Matty Kennedy is an interdisciplinary empiricist specialising in trans studies. An educator, writer and senior research fellow at Queen's University Belfast, he's an adjunct assistant professor at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin and co-chair for Trans* Research Association of Ireland.

TEENAGE FANCLUB
In October and November of this year Teenage Fanclub will be playing 35 shows across the European continent, specifically in Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, UK, and Ireland. They play The Belfast Empire on 16th November with tickets on sale Friday 27th March at 9am. Tickets from Ticketmaster online or in person from the venue (save fees). Norman Blake: “We’ve been doing this touring thing for a long time now, someone just told me it’s 37 years since our first show in 1989, but I don’t think about it that way. This is just my life, our lives, it’s what we do. But we seem to enjoy it now more than ever. If you ever felt jaded by the prospect of doing this kind of thing it would be best to give up. 12 shows in Spain, and all the other places too – amazing!” So is this an anniversary tour? Raymond McGinley: “Well, for us it’s the anniversary of everything and the anniversary of nothing. “Anniversary Of Nothing” – that could be a good album title. I suppose every day is an anniversary of something…” If not an anniversary tour, will this be a tour around a new album? Raymond again: “As a band we think it’s good to have a mindset that you’re always working towards something new. In our minds we’re still a contemporary band, not much different than when we started. At some point we’ll have new songs ready to release, but until then we’d rather keep any work in progress to ourselves.” Support on this tour has been confirmed as Euros Childs. Having fronted the band Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci from 1991 until their demise in 2004, Euros went solo releasing his debut album ‘Chops’ on the Wichita label in 2006. Euros set up his own record label National Elf in 2009 and to date has released 21 albums, including Thrips (2023) Beehive Beach (2024) and last year’s A-Pop.

The McGurks Bar Tragedy
The McGurk’s Bar Tragedy will feature at Waterfront Hall 14-16 November 2026. Written by award-winning playwright, Martin Lynch, The McGurk's Bar Tragedy is one of the greatest Belfast stories NEVER told. 15 innocent victims were killed in a no-warning bomb in December 1971, the biggest loss of life in Belfast throughout the Troubles. Lynch, who was born and brought up 2 streets from McGurk’s, concentrates on the incredible individual stories of those killed, including 2 young teenagers. The playwright met all the families and has included their heart-breaking stories in the play. Act 1 is set in the early part of the evening where customers, are enjoying a Saturday night drink. The craic is mighty as Lynch’s dockland humour and storytelling is given full reign among the bar patrons including 4 dockers and 2 women. Concurrently, the play also follows the UVF gang as they meet up and plan the bomb, raising the tension of what is to follow. Seven professional actors, led by Paddy Jenkins (May McFettridge’s side-kick) and Conor Grimes (Fireball in The History Of The Troubles (accordin’ to my Da ), will lead the 7-strong cast. 30 community actors from North Belfast will add a powerful, epic quality to the production. Matthew McElhinney ( Stones In His Pockets, The Blind Fiddler ), directs.

Fjord
This searching, Palme d’Or-winning moral dilemma pits preaching conservative Christian parents against a holier-than-thou liberal system. An evangelical family move to a small Norwegian town. Their seemingly placid adjustment is shattered when suspicions around their children’s wellbeing place the parents under severe scrutiny. Cristian Mungiu ( 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days ) masterfully crafts an ambivalent social drama that raises fundamental questions and avoids easy answers, asking us to ponder how unbiased our own sense of empathy is.
