Niall Horan to close major UK tour with Belfast SSE Arena show in 2026

Global superstar Niall Horan is set to return to Belfast for a major arena show in 2026, with the chart-topping singer confirming the final date of his UK and European tour will take place at the SSE Arena on Sunday 15 November.

The highly anticipated performance will mark the closing night of his newly announced Dinner Party tour, named after his upcoming album, and is expected to draw huge demand from fans across Northern Ireland and beyond.

Tickets and key details

Tickets for the Belfast show go on general sale on Thursday 2 April at 10am via niallhoran.com.

In a move that will resonate across the UK music scene, £1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the LIVE Trust, a fund dedicated to protecting, expanding and supporting grassroots music.

A tour built around a new chapter

Horan’s Dinner Party era signals a more reflective and intimate direction for the Irish star. The album has been described as cinematic and organic, capturing moments that feel like “memories being gently created”.

Written alongside long-time collaborators Julian Bunetta and John Ryan—who also serve as executive producers—the project also features contributions from a host of respected songwriters including Amy Allen, Joel Little and others.

The album’s concept centres on connection and shared experience, with Horan noting the symbolic power of gathering around a table—an idea that shapes both the music and the tone of the tour.

From One Direction to global solo success

Horan first rose to international fame as part of One Direction before launching a hugely successful solo career that has seen him sell more than 90 million records worldwide.

His debut album Flicker featured the hit single “Slow Hands”, while Heartbreak Weather (2020) and The Show both reached number one on major charts in the UK and US. Lead single “Heaven” from The Show marked the biggest streaming day of his solo career upon release.

His most recent global tour in 2024 sold over 1.2 million tickets, filling arenas across multiple continents and reinforcing his status as one of the world’s leading live performers.

Beyond music: a wider cultural impact

In addition to his recording and touring success, Horan has built a strong presence on television as a coach on NBC’s The Voice, winning three seasons. His influence has extended beyond entertainment, including a performance for US President Joe Biden at the White House.

A major night for Belfast

The Belfast date is expected to be one of the standout events on the tour, bringing a global music star back to a city with a strong and loyal fanbase.

As the final stop of the Dinner Party tour, the SSE Arena show promises to deliver a memorable closing night—blending new material with fan favourites from across Horan’s career.
