Mark your calendars, Belfast – on Saturday, 5th April, the city’s very own Joshua Burnside will take the stage at the legendary Ulster Hall for a performance that promises to be nothing short of mesmerizing. With doors opening at 7 PM, this is your chance to experience one of the most innovative and compelling voices in the Irish music scene.
Joshua Burnside has earned a reputation as an experimental folk songwriter who fearlessly blends genres, creating a sound that’s both grounded in traditional Irish folk and infused with alternative electronica, world music, and unorthodox production methods. His unique approach to songwriting and production has captivated audiences far and wide, earning him critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase.
Burnside’s latest album, Teeth Of Time, pushes the boundaries of folk music while maintaining the heart and soul of the genre. Described as sitting comfortably – and sometimes confrontationally – between the alt-folk realms of Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens, the album is a testament to Joshua’s fearless exploration of sound and storytelling. His signature style weaves indie singer-songwriter sensibilities with the rich textures of traditional folk, making his music both familiar and refreshingly innovative.
But don’t just take our word for it. Phil Taggart of Sirius XM has hailed Burnside as “the best songwriter in Ireland right now, and probably beyond.” High praise for an artist who continues to push creative boundaries and challenge expectations.
This special evening at Ulster Hall will be an opportunity to hear tracks from Teeth Of Time live, as well as experience the raw energy and intimacy that Joshua Burnside brings to his performances. Whether you’re seated or standing, you’ll be transported into Joshua’s world, where haunting melodies meet powerful lyrics and genre-blending magic.
With a 14+ age restriction (U16s must be accompanied by an adult for seating; 16+ for standing), this is an event for music lovers of all ages who appreciate thought-provoking and immersive performances.
