John Grant announces headline show at Belfast’s Mandela Hall

John Grant has announced a headline show at Belfast’s Mandela Hall on Friday, October 3, 2025.

The date joins his upcoming 10-show tour across the UK and Ireland, originally set to kick off in Dublin’s National Stadium on October 4. The American singer-songwriter will also perform in cities including Manchester, London, and Portsmouth, before wrapping up in Edinburgh on October 17.

Grant is currently finishing up a U.S. tour, which concludes in New York on April 12. He’s spent the past year on the road in support of his latest album The Art Of The Lie.

The record received an 8/10 from Hot Press, which praised it as “an unapologetically grandiose-yet-compassionate portrait of what it means to be human in the chaotic 2020s.”

Tickets for the Belfast show go on sale Friday, April 4, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. via Ticketmaster.ie.
