Don't expect him to blast out 'Six Pack', because Henry Rollins will very much be in 'spoken word' mode when he takes to the Empire Music Hall stage this August. The musician, talk show host, writer, and activist returns to Belfast for the first time since his sold-out appearance there in 2008.

The former Black Flag frontman will muse on everything from politics to personal anecdotes from the road, and is, by all accounts, captivating company.

He will be appearing at the Empire Music Hall, Beflast, on Sunday August 21.

Tickets cost £17.00 from The Empire, all Ticketmaster outlets, and [link]www.ticketmaster.ie[/link].
