Overview

Come and explore the sights and sounds of a vibrant music city with a specialist music guide and musician! Belfast is the only city on the island of Ireland to have gained the status of UNESCO City of Music. This fun walking tour is the only tour to cover a wide range of music genres - from folk and pop to punk, and from classical and hip hop to jazz and lots more! Guests will enjoy a special tour playlist along the way. You will see some cool music venues, including traditional bars and clubs, historic buildings, open air performance spaces and even a church. Your knowledgeable and passionate guide, Dolores, will share stories about iconic music moments, and many of Belfast's best-known musicians, including Van Morison, Gary Moore, Ruby Murray and Snow Patrol. The tour ends with a visit to the city's contemporary music hub, the Oh Yeah Music Centre, where you will be shown around its NI Music Exhibition.

Belfast Has the Reason!

Published on Apr, 2024

I took the Belfast Punk Music Walking Tour-can't recommend it enough. You don't need to know anything about Belfast's music scene but I went in with some background and still got tons of great info& learned so much because the tour was given by someone who was there-the lovely Delores-who not only uses her personal insight and connections to enrich the tour but plenty of research as well. The walking is easy (I have a bad knee that didn't play up at all), well-paced and we stopped to rest for a drink, a break& convo. Dolores creates a great environment so this was an absolute pleasure rather than a pause in action. You get a look in to the history but also the present state of Belfast's collectives& music scenes. You get a sense of the city itself-how it looked then, what used to be and what's taking shape/being built up now. Many of the stops we made were at places I immediately put on my list to revisit; 2.5 hrs flew by. Music was played, bands were referenced and we were given cards with Spotify lists so we could keep listening. Will definitely take others on this tour, keep recommending and hope to take another tour with Creative Tours Belfast next time I'm town:)
