Play live in Belfast

Belfast rewards musicians who do their own booking. The city's live circuit runs across clubs, cultural centres, theatres, concert venues and event venues, so an act on tour can pitch a late night club slot and a seated room in the same month. Clubs such as The Limelight keep the loudest end of the calendar busy, while cultural centres like Crescent Arts Centre, The MAC and The Black Box programme work that sits closer to the arts side, from songwriter nights to cross genre bills. Concert venues, Ulster Hall among them, handle larger productions, and the city's theatres take on acts that suit a listening room. Each type of room has its own booker, its own lead time and its own idea of a good fit. Our database gives you the contact details, so you can approach the right person directly, in your own words, with the material that makes your case.
