What's On in Belfast
Sunday 13 September 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Sunday the 13th of September has Belfast leaning into the full sweep of what live music can be — from stadium-sized glam rock swagger to the kind of intimate, transcendent guitar playing that stops a room cold. Whether you are dusting off your leather jacket or settling into a candlelit arts centre pew, the city has something genuinely special lined up tonight.
Highlights
Faster Pussycat - Celebrating 40 Years — Four decades of sleaze, riffs, and unapologetic rock and roll — and Faster Pussycat are still bringing the heat. The Empire Music Hall is the perfect stage for this kind of gloriously loud celebration, a venue with the bones and the attitude to match a band who have never once played it safe. Doors from 4:00pm, so get there early and make a proper evening of it — check the website for ticket details.
Marisa Anderson — If you have never heard Marisa Anderson play guitar, tonight at the Crescent Arts Centre is the kind of experience people talk about for years afterwards. Her playing sits somewhere between American primitive, blues, and something entirely her own — hypnotic, unhurried, and quietly astonishing. At just £10 for a 7:00pm show in one of Belfast's most beloved intimate venues, this is an absolute steal.
