What's On in Belfast
Tuesday 03 November 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Belfast has a treat in store this Tuesday, with two very different but equally compelling live music experiences going head to head across the city. Whether you are drawn to the raw, progressive edge of modern rock or the timeless warmth of an 80s icon, tonight the city is absolutely alive with sound.
Highlights
Hail the Sun — Catch progressive rock outfit Hail the Sun at the intimate and electric Limelight 2, where the low ceilings and close-packed crowd make every riff feel personal. Known for their genre-bending blend of post-hardcore intensity and melodic sophistication, this is the kind of show that converts casual listeners into devoted fans by the second song. Doors open at 7:00pm — check the website for ticket prices and availability before they are gone.
Alison Moyet — One of the most distinctive voices in British pop history takes to the magnificent Waterfront Hall Auditorium stage at 7:00pm, and if you have never heard Alison Moyet perform live, this is the night to put that right. From her Yazoo days to a string of solo classics, she brings a depth and emotional power that few artists can match, and the Waterfront's stunning riverside setting only adds to the sense of occasion. Check the website for ticket prices — but do not sit on it, because a night like this sells itself.
