What's On in Belfast
Monday 22 June 2026
Monday nights in Belfast have a habit of surprising you, and this one is no exception — the city is pulling out all the stops with a genuine mix of soul, fury, and late-night hedonism. From a vast open-air park show to an intimate venue rattling with heavy guitar music, and a club night that costs less than a cup of coffee to walk into, there is a version of this evening that was made for you.
Highlights
Teddy Swims | Ormeau Park — The Georgia-born soul powerhouse Teddy Swims brings his extraordinary voice to the open air of Ormeau Park at 6:00pm, and if you have ever heard him hold a note you will know this is not one to pass up lightly. His blend of R&B, country, and classic soul feels tailor-made for a long summer evening, with that great green stretch of park as your backdrop. Prices are worth checking on the website, but the experience of hearing those vocals under an open sky is likely to be one of the gig memories of the year.
Knocked Loose — If you want your Monday evening to hit harder, Knocked Loose take to the stage at The Limelight 1 at 7:00pm, bringing their bruising, searingly honest brand of hardcore to one of Belfast's most beloved live music rooms. The Kentucky outfit have built a ferociously devoted following on the strength of their raw intensity, and the Limelight's tight, sweaty floor is the perfect place to feel every drop of it. Check the website for tickets before they are gone, because rooms this size sell out fast for a band with this much momentum behind them.
Playroom Mondays at Kremlin - £1 Entry & £3.50 Drinks — When the gigs are done, Kremlin opens its doors from 10:00pm for Playroom Mondays, and at £1 entry and £3.50 drinks this might be the most wallet-friendly night out in the city right now. Belfast's legendary LGBTQ+ venue knows how to build a dance floor energy that few places can match, and Playroom Mondays have earned a devoted crowd who turn up week after week for exactly this kind of unpretentious, joyful night. Whether you are coming straight from the park or the Limelight, it is the ideal way to make sure Monday never gets the last word.
