For anyone who says there never is anything to do or see, gigwise, in this dirty ol' town, here is a quick guide to the gigs I am aware of between now and the end of the year. If there are any I have left out, apologies, it's simply because I am not aware of them. If you would like your gig included in future listings, or any other promotional assistance, please contact me through the Paradise City Belfast group on Facebook or email the details to This email address is being protected from spambots.

On top of all these live shows, don't forget that, despite the demise of the Venue, we have a very healthy club scene, with Paradise City on the first Thursday of every month at Madison's on Botanic Avenue, Hangar 18 on the third Thursday of every month at The Pavilion, Cornucopia and Ragnarock on alternating Saturday nights at Queen's, High Voltage each Friday night at Ma Nelson's on the Lisburn Road and two more soon to be launched - Rock N Roost at the very chic Roost Bar in the city centre, starting every Wednesday from 8 September (and hosting the Guns N Roses after show party on 31 August), and the Metal Hammer/Scuzz TV backed Redeemer, heading our way from the end of August...
Now, tell me there's nothing to do or nowhere to go... I dare ye!
