This is going to be special! Van Morrison returns to the iconic Ulster Hall after over a decade for an evening of rhythm & blues.

These will be the first concerts held at the venue since March of 2020.

He'll be taking to the stage Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th July 2021, but he's also added the following weekend to the bill - Friday 30th and Saturday 31st July 2021!

Julia Corkey, Chief Executive ICC Belfast | Waterfront Hall | Ulster Hall said:

"We are delighted that Van Morrison will take to the iconic Ulster Hall stage this summer. Visitor and staff safety is our number one priority. The team is finalising plans to welcome live audiences back and we are confidently planning for what promises to be a great schedule of concerts."

"We will continue to work with the relevant authorities to ensure that live music fans have a safe and enjoyable experience that is fully compliant with any public health requirements."

Born in 1945, Van heard his Shipyard worker father’s collection of blues, country and gospel early in life.

Morrison’s music has continued to span genres including R&B, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, Folk and Soul. Van’s unrivalled song writing and musicality continues to evolve with the creation of new material and reinterpretation of older classics.

2021 has seen the release of Van’s 42nd studio album Latest Record Project Vol. 1, a 28 track double album delving into his ongoing love of blues, R&B, jazz and soul.
