About this Event

Take this popular and fun tour around Belfast city centre, to discover for yourself why Belfast deserves its prestigious UNESCO City of Music designation. The tour is delivered in association with the Oh Yeah Music Centre, the city's music hub, and the tour will end with a vist there to look around its NI Music Exhibition.

There is a wealth of music talent in Belfast, across many genres - from hip hop to classical, jazz and punk - opera to folk, country and electro pop - and more! The music scene in Belfast is vibrant and music is part of the fabric of Belfast life, making it a cool city to live in or visit.

On a leisurely, music-filled stroll, your specialist music guide will introduce you to many of the city’s best-known bands and musicians, past and present - our 'legends' - accompanied by a soundtrack of their music. You will also hear about Belfast’s rich musical heritage, traditions and roots.

The tour begins at the iconic Ulster Hall, a well-preserved Victorian music hall and a favourite venue down the history of Belfast’s entertainment scene. Weaving through the city’s oldest and cobbled streets, open squares and busy shopping areas, the tour then explores music venues that include traditional bars and clubs, historic buildings, open air performance spaces, the city's newest performance space, our main arena venues - and even a church! Guests will gain access to one or two places they couldn’t otherwise visit. At each stop, a different genre of music will be considered.


You'll encounter at first hand, Belfast's 'craic' and hear many entertaining stories about iconic music moments and our best-known musicians and bands - including Van Morrison, Snow Patrol, Ruby Murray, Stiff Little Fingers, Ash and many more. There’ll also be recommendations for rising stars of the contemporary music scene to keep an eye on! Plus tips on gigs that are on in the city during your stay.

The tour concludes with a visit to Belfast’s own dedicated music hub, the Oh Yeah Music Centre, in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter. Here, there’ll be a chance to browse the centre’s Music Exhibition, which features memorabilia from Northern Ireland musicians, venues and the the Good Vibrations punk record label.
