Lizzo announces Belfast show at Ormeau Park

Grammy winning singer-songwriter, rapper and actor Lizzo has announced a show at Belfast's Ormeau Park for June 22nd, 2023 with special guests.

Lizzo recently announced a 3Arena Dublin date for March 13th, 2023 as part of the European leg of The Special Tour. London-based Irish/Bangladeshi musician Joy Crookes will act as special guest on the night.

The musician has shifted the sound, soul, and spirit of popular music and culture since 2019’s now-classic, RIAA platinum certified debut album, CUZ I LOVE YOU, bowed at #4 on the Billboard 200. Hits like 'Tempo (Feat. Missy Elliott),' the 2x platinum 'Juice,' the 4x platinum 'Good As Hell,' and the 7x platinum 'Truth Hurts.'

'Truth Hurts' affirmed Lizzo as only the third female rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart without a featured artist, as well as the first Black solo female R&B singer to claim the top spot since 2012. The single dominated the chart for seven weeks, further making history as the longest running No.1 by a solo female rap artist ever.

Named by Rolling Stone as one of the 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time, 'Truth Hurts' went on to earn a Grammy Award in 2020 for “Best Pop Solo Performance,” with CUZ I LOVE YOU (DELUXE) receiving that year’s Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album and 'Jerome' earning Best Traditional R&B Performance.

Expanding her imprint and influence across media, Lizzo joined Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, and Cardi B in the all-star cast of 2019's critically acclaimed Hustlers.

Lizzo maintained this momentum on 2021’s RIAA gold certified 'Rumors (Feat. Cardi B)' and released her massively anticipated second full-length offering SPECIAL for Nice Life Recording Company/Atlantic Records. 'About Damn Time' also went viral on TikTok and hit the No.1 spot worldwide, becoming one of the most streamed songs of the year.
