Selected Highlights
Afro Celt Sound System
Description
Formed in 1995, Afro Celt Sound System have captivated audiences for three decades with their innovative blend of Irish and West African musical traditions infused with modern electronic beats.
With over a million albums sold worldwide and multiple Grammy nominations, the band is known for classics such as "Release", "Whirl-Y-Reel", and "When You're Falling", which featured legendary singer Peter Gabriel.
Their recent UK tour was a resounding success, with sold-out venues and rave reviews highlighting their continued relevance and unparalleled live performances and they continue to push musical boundaries while honouring the cultural traditions at their core. The Belfast concert will feature a stellar lineup, including original members such as N'Faly Kouyaté alongside new Irish members:
-
MÚLÚ, the Castlewellan singer and flute player celebrated for her innovative blend of Irish and world influences, also a member of Huartán and BIIRD.
-
Enda Gallery is a multi-talented artist based in County Clare and known for his deeply emotive songwriting and genre-blending approach to music.
-
Robbie Harris, a globally renowned percussionist and bodhrán player whose live rhythmic energy is unmatched.
This highly anticipated show will take you on a musical journey from the rolling hills of Ireland to the vibrant rhythms of Africa and beyond. Are you ready?
