Explore our vibrant music city on a music-filled and fun walking tour around the Cathedral Quarter.
About this Event

Book this two-hour walking tour around the Cathedral Quarter to explore Belfast’s rich music scene. Your specialist guide from Creative Tours Belfast will introduce you to some of the city’s best-known musicians and bands, as well as some rising stars to follow.

There’ll be entertaining stories aplenty along the way and you’ll also hear a little about the city's rich musical heritage. Anecdotes will be shared about iconic music moments and musicians– past and present.

The tour will touch on a wide range of music genres, including electronic, traditional, jazz, rock, pop, rap, punk and more. Music clips will be played along the way from a curated playlist!

Starting outside 2 Royal Avenue, a popular cultural venue, we’ll then take in historic pubs, popular clubs, Belfast’s oldest church building (with strong music links across centuries), a legendary venue in the city’s late ’70s punk scene, an open-air performance space, and the Oh Yeah Music Centre, Belfast’s own dedicated music hub.

This walk will let you explore a great music city, worthy of its 2021 designation as a UNESCO City of Music.

The tour will take place in all weathers, so please come prepared! Meet outside 2RA a few minutes before the start time. The tour will end two hours later on Hill Street.
