Van Morrison has announced that he will perform a celebratory concert in Belfast on the day of his 80th birthday. Morrison’s talented singer-songwriter daughter, Shana, will also perform.
This unique, once-in-a-lifetime event will take place on Sunday 31st August in the iconic Waterfront Hall in Belfast. Morrison, whose career spans a remarkable seven decades and millions of record sales, is regarded as one of the most successful artists Belfast has ever produced.
Belfast City Council recognised him, awarding him the Freedom of the City in 2013. He was also appointed Queen’s University Belfast’s inaugural ‘Artist in Residence’ earlier this year. This unique and unprecedented partnership will see Morrison provide two students with fully-funded scholarships to assist in their ambitions to become professional musicians. Look out for further announcements regarding the special guest line-up.
