TYKETTO Presented By F.P. Promotions

The Belfast Empire Music Hall · South Belfast · Music
Returning to Northern Ireland for the first time since 2014…..TYKETTO!! Hard rocking songsmiths, TYKETTO, enter 2026 with the release of their 6th studio album, Closer To The Sun, through Silver Lining Music on March 20th 2026, and with it, unleash some of their best, supremely crafted rock anthems celebrating the return of this criminally underrated quintet originally founded in New York. The first video and single taken from Closer To The Sun, ‘Higher Than High’ is a burst of swing and swagger that perfectly captures Tyketto’s deep appreciation for the emancipation that music can bring. That spirit rings out unmistakably as vocalist and founding member Danny Vaughn roars: “ In the space you can learn to heal/There is music that helps you feel/Higher than high”. Listen to it right here. “Higher Than High is, in my estimation, classic Tyketto, where difficulties in life are seen and named but hope and, more importantly, music, is the thing that gets us through,” comments Danny Vaughn. “It’s the first single from our new album which we think is going to be a real favorite with the fans. The song and the album say ‘play me loudly and take me for a drive.’” Throughout Closer To The Sun, Tyketto speak to the listener about true life loves, losses and pleasures. From the title track’s triumphant, anthemic appreciation of love’s power, to the punchy rawness built to make fists rise and hearts race of “Hit Me Where It Hurts”, to the power balladry of “The Picture”, Tyketto continue to confidently stride the same musical terrain as the likes of Whitesnake and Aerosmith, with the added bonus of being fresh to the ears of many. Joined by Harry Scott Elliott on guitar, Ged Rylands on keyboards, Chris Childs (Thunder) on bass and Johnny Dee (Doro) on drums, Vaughn leads a lineup that brings exceptional performances and undeniable fire to every track, reaffirming Tyketto as one of rock’s most respected and enduring names. Closer To The Sun was recorded across multiple studios in the UK and Europe, including Flip Flop Studios and the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales. In support of the album’s release, Tyketto have already announced a string of dates for 2026, kicking off at Planet Rock’s Winter’s End festival in Porthcawl, Wales—and with a full UK Tour set for the spring and European shows to be revealed soon, fans should keep their eyes peeled for what’s coming next.

Briana Corrigan

The Crescent Arts Centre · South Belfast · Music
With a voice that could “melt icebergs at 50 paces” (VOX), Belfast-born singer-songwriter Briana Corrigan , best known as the iconic voice of The Beautiful South , returns to her home city for a special, intimate performance at The Crescent Arts Centre this November, presented by Music Capital . Following a ten-year hiatus from live performance, Briana has made a triumphant return to the stage, delighting audiences with a series of hugely successful, sold-out shows across the UK and Ireland. She will forever be associated with The Beautiful South's biggest hit, the chart-topping, Brit Award-winning A Little Time , a song that became one of the defining singles of the 1990s. Her distinctive voice, described by Time Out as “one of the most distinctive voices in pop ”, combined with Paul Heaton 's razor-sharp lyrics to create a timeless anthem of heartbreak and resilience. Beyond her success with The Beautiful South, Briana has established herself as a songwriter of exceptional depth and talent. Her two critically acclaimed solo albums earned glowing reviews from leading music publications. Q Magazine praised her gift for “chest-hugging, breast-beating balladry of the highest calibre” , while Melody Maker hailed her as “ a revelation”. Hot Press described her as “a songwriter of wit and elegance”. This rare Belfast concert offers audiences the chance to experience Briana's “stupendous vocal” ( NME ) up close in an evening of stories, songs and heartfelt connection. The set will feature Beautiful South favourites alongside her own acclaimed compositions and unique interpretations of traditional songs, creating an uplifting and memorable night of music. For fans of The Beautiful South and lovers of exceptional songwriting, this promises to be a truly special homecoming performance.
