Paolo Nutini - Thursday 25th August - SOLD OUT
Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini will his return to Belfast with a headline show at Custom House Square on Thursday 25th August 2022.
The "Pencil Full of Lead" performer has been certified five-times platinum by the BPI and was the eighth-biggest-selling album in the UK in 2009.
Ryan McMullan - Saturday 27th August
Following a string of sold out Belfast shows, the Portaferry singer-songwriter has played two sold out Ormeau Park, Belsonic shows alongside Dermot Kennedy, two nights at the Waterfront Hall and completed a sell-out Irish Tour.
Now 32, McMullan may have spent his first few years playing catch-up, but admits that "music was always going to be a part of my life." Having toured worldwide with some of the most well known artists such as Ed Sheeran, Snow Patrol, Kodaline and Foy Vance, Ryan quickly understood the assignment and has since went on to have world tours of his own.
To top it all off Ryan is due to play his 2nd CHSQ show in Belfast on the 27th of August this year.
