Geroge Ezra to headline Belsonic 2023
Another big name coming to Belfast next summer!
Last updated 28th Oct 2022
BRIT Award-winning, multi-platinum-selling musician George Ezra has today announced a return to Belfast with a headline show at Belsonic, Ormeau Park on Friday 9 June 2023.
‘Green Green Grass’, the first single from his new album Gold Rush Kid is an irresistibly joyful song about making the best of things, even when it might feel like the worst of things are afoot: “Green green grass, blue blue sky, you better throw a party on the day that I die.”
“I was on holiday in St Lucia with a few friends at Christmas 2018, with two of my closest mates from home,” explains George. “We were in this beach bar, drinking homemade rum punch and Piton, the local lager, flip-flopping between the two, pissing about with three local guys who worked there. And this music started up, three streets back from the sea.
“After about half an hour, I had to go see what it was. And there was a street party going on, with three different sound systems, people cooking in the street. I asked a woman what was going on and she told me it was a funeral – for three people. They were celebrating three lives! I thought: that is not how we do this at home. And it’s really beautiful.”
“The Gold Rush Kid? That’s me,” says George, reflecting on the title of his third record – a 12-strong suite of marvellous, transporting, elevational songs, that more than anything “sound like me. That’s what ties them together.”
George recently performed in Belfast to a sold-out SSE Arena, so if you missed out on tickets for that you won't have long to wait.
