What's On in Belfast
Sunday 09 August 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Belfast may be easing into a Sunday, but the city still has a heartbeat worth following — and tonight it pulses with the kind of unhurried, soulful live music that makes you glad you didn't just stay in. Head towards the water when the evening light softens and let the Lagan do the rest.
Highlights
The Old Courthouse Session Band | The Belfast Barge — There are few more atmospheric spots in the city than The Belfast Barge, moored on the Lagan and dripping with character, and on Sunday evening it plays host to the Old Courthouse Session Band for what promises to be a night of rich, rootsy live music. Whether you are a devotee of the session tradition or simply someone who knows a good evening when they see one, this is the kind of gig that wraps around you like a warm room — unhurried, generous, and genuinely alive. Doors kick off at 6:00pm, so get there early, grab a drink, and let the music find you; check the website for ticket and pricing details.
