What's On in Belfast
Wednesday 05 August 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Belfast may have just the one unmissable gig pencilled in for this Wednesday, but when it involves a voice like Ryan McMullan's and the storied walls of the Empire Music Hall, one is more than enough. The city has a habit of making midweek feel like a celebration, and tonight is no exception.
Highlights
Ryan McMullan - Fleadh 2026 — One of Ireland's most quietly electrifying singer-songwriters takes to the stage at the Empire Music Hall at 7:00pm as part of the much-loved Fleadh 2026 programme, and if you have never caught Ryan McMullan live, consider this your urgent invitation to change that. His raw, soulful voice fills a room in a way that stops conversations dead and gives you goosebumps you weren't expecting on a Wednesday night. The Empire is a gloriously intimate Victorian venue — all ornate balconies and warm lighting — so grab your tickets via the website before they go, because a night like this tends to sell out quietly and leave the latecomers kicking themselves.
