Gary Numan to celebrate 45 years of ‘Telekon’ with Belfast show at Waterfront Hall on December 3rd

Gary Numan

Electronic music pioneer, revered songwriter and renowned musician, Gary Numan has announced the Waterfront Hall Auditorium, Belfast on 3rd December 2025 as part of his latest tour, which celebrates the 45th anniversary of his seminal album Telekon.

Telekon was released in 1980 on Beggars Banquet and debuted at the top of the UK Albums Charts making it Gary’s third consecutive No. 1 album. The record featured heavy use of guitars, along with strings and lush synthesizer textures, resulting from Numan’s use of additional machines. Cited by many as an influence, Trent Reznor claimed to have listened to it every day during the making of Nine Inch Nails “Pretty Hate Machine.” Performing the album live in its entirety, fans can expect to hear classic tracks “We Are Glass” “I Die: You Die” & “This Wreckage” along with a selection of greatest hits from across his iconic back catalogue.

Gary Numan remains a vital force in music and his live performances are recognised for their energy and raw emotion. In 2017 he received the prestigious Inspiration Award at the Ivor Novellos plus a wealth of acclaim in support of his #2 album Intruder and his remarkable autobiography (R)EVOLUTION, further solidifying his status as a true visionary.

This summer saw Gary Numan play Glastonbury for the first time in his storied career following a series of sold-out intimate warm-up gigs. With an extensive USA tour kicking off in September, Gary will also return to the UK for major headline dates this November. A pioneer of music, Numan continues to push the boundaries of performance and proves that his influence on the electronic and rock genres is undiminished.

Tickets on Sale Friday 1st August at 10AM from Ticketmaster.ie and waterfront.co.uk
