Ryan McMullan announces Belfast headline show for 2023

Singer-songwriter Ryan McMullan has announced a headline show in Belfast later this year.

The past two years has seen Ryan play two sold out Ormeau Park, Belsonic shows alongside Dermot Kennedy, two nights at the Waterfront Hall and completed a sell-out Irish Tour, including two CHSq shows.

After cancelling a number of his shows last year admitting he was struggling with his mental health, the Co Down native has now announced he will play Belfast's Ulster Hall on Friday 15 th December 2023.

Speaking following the cancellation of some of his tour last year he said: "Dear best fans in the world. It is with the heaviest of hearts that, with the exception to the Belfast show and the Derry show, I have decided to cancel the Redesign tour.

"I'm heartbroken to have to do this, especially with the release of my debut album, but the truth is I've been struggling a lot lately with my mental health and after speaking to professionals and my incredibly supportive team, I have decided that the best thing for me to do right now is to take a step back from touring."

Growing up in the seaside town of Portaferry, Co. Down - “where everybody knows your name”, he says wryly – the young Ryan abandoned his youthful passion for hurling in favour of music.

These days, he's one of the most exciting young singer-songwriters around, but was a self- confessed 'late bloomer' when it came to his musical career.

Now 32, McMullan may have spent his first few years playing catch-up, but admits that “music was always going to be a part of my life.”

Having toured worldwide with some of the most well known artists such as Ed Sheeran, Snow Patrol, Kodaline and Foy Vance,

Ryan quickly understood the assignment and has since went on to have world tours of his own. To top it all off Ryan played his second CHSQ show in Belfast last August.

Tickets for his Ulster Hall show on December 15 will go on sale this Friday, May 19 at 10am from Ticketmaster.
