Van Morrison to celebrate 80th birthday with Europa Hotel concerts

Van Morrison has announced two concerts at Belfast's Europa Hotel on June 23 and 24 to celebrate his 80th anniversary.

The Irish rock legend's 'Big Birthday Blues' concerts promise a "fusion of blues, soul, and jazz, delivered in Van Morrison’s unmistakable style."

The repertoire will feature Morrison's timeless classics alongside selections from his most recent albums and collaborations.

Attendees to the shows will also enjoy a three-course gala dinner.

The rock star recently announced he will be playing as a special guest in Neil Young's Malahide Castle concert on June 26.

Morrison's upcoming album Remembering Now is set for release on June 13.

He recently shared 'Down to Joy' as the record's lead single, after the song was featured in the soundtrack of Kenneth Branagh’s Oscar and BAFTA-winning film Belfast (2021).

Tickets for Van Morrison's upcoming concerts are available now, starting from £331. For more information, click here.
