Belfast has landed another big arena night for 2027. Deacon Blue play The O2 Belfast on Wednesday 6 October 2027, performing debut album Raintown in full, then a second set of career songs, on their 40th Anniversary UK & Ireland Tour (15 shows across 15 cities).
The Scottish band’s first record still carries that rainy-city pull; hearing it start to finish in an arena built for nights like this is the kind of booking Belfast queues for. Presenter: Singular Artists, in association with Asgard & TDPM. Subject to licence.
