A Spectacular Line-Up at Belfast's Waterfront Hall: Music, Theatre and Creativity
February and March 2025 are set to be unforgettable months at Belfast's Waterfront Hall, as a series of eclectic events take center stage.

With the inclusion of an innovative anime tattoo convention and a charity event for Sólás, the season showcases a vibrant mix of culture, music, and community spirit.
The Rat Pack, comprising Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., defined an era of entertainment with their charismatic performances, onstage chemistry, smooth vocals and undeniable charm.

Look at the Guinness Book Of Hit Singles and you could be forgiven for thinking Smokie’s success story was a 1970s phenomenon.

Sólás Special Needs Charity, based on Belfast’s Ormeau Road will host an evening of music at the Waterfront Hall on Saturday 15 February 2025 to raise funds for our new purpose built community facility.

Following her recent graduation from Brighton University in 2023 with a first-class degree in Fine Art Printmaking BA (Hons), Alison Moyet has combined both art and music here, creating the album art herself to celebrate her 40th year as a solo artist with the release of ‘Key’ on October 4th - a collection of 16 reworked singles, fan favourites and deep cuts as well as two new songs which combine to present a blazing showcase of the depth and breadth of her artistic creativity and songwriting. She launches the album by sharing one of its brand new songs, ‘Such Small Ale’ alongside the reworked classic Moyet single ‘All Cried Out’.
