BELFAST // THE MAC // SAT 25th OCT So excited to announce that I will be performing a very special show at The MAC this October as part of Belfast International Arts Festival. I will be joined by my great friends and collaborators Michael Keeney @keeneym , Arco String Quartet @arco_stringquartet and some special guests. This concert will mark the release of a brand new EP called HOME; more on that in the coming weeks. For now though I’m so excited to be playing one of my favourite venues in the world with some of my favourite people, including support from my great friend, the incredible Áine Gordon @ainegordon_ Tickets are on sale now on the link in my bio. More information on the concert below. —————————————- Rory Friers // HOME with Michael Keeney & Arco String Quartet. Special Guest Áine Gordon. Sat 25th October 2025 Internationally recognised composer, producer and immersive artist Rory Friers plays a very special hometown performance to mark the launch of his debut solo release HOME. Best known for his emotionally resonant film scores, immersive sound installations, and his award-winning work as guitarist and songwriter in experimental rock band And So I Watch You From Afar, Friers blends intricate strings, warm electronica and expressive guitar into deeply emotional musical experiences. This one-off concert features frequent collaborators: pianist Michael Keeney, Arco String Quartet, and others from his core ensemble, performing new music from Home and selections from his back catalogue and film work. Friers’ sold out performances — including Altogether All Alone at W5, Dolby Atmos concert All Around Us at SARC, and spatial concert series at Mussenden Temple — have earned widespread acclaim for their powerful blend of intimacy and innovation. In 2024, his practice expanded further with installation projects in Australia and the Middle East, orchestral premieres closer to home alongside the Ulster Orchestra and new collaborations at the forefront of AI, VR, and spatial sound. 

A chance to hear new music and past work brought to life in one of Belfast’s most intimate venues.

THIS SATURDAY 16th AUGUST!! After last year’s sell-out show, we return to Helen’s Bay Summer Music Festival with a cinematic journey through the ages. With music from golden-age Hollywood to today’s biggest blockbusters, heartwarming animations to epic adventures. Venue: St John’s Church, Helen’s Bay Time: 7.30pm .. and refreshments in the hall afterwards included!! We would love to see you ❤️🎻🎬 Tickets : /helensbaymusic Ps… we want our image as cartoon next year!! 🤣

Sold out. Full House. Radiohead. 30 years since The Bends. @arco_stringquartet nailed it a million times over. Produced by @wearestuntdoublemusic in partnership with The National Trust @nationaltrustni @nationaltrustnorthcoast Filmed by @thesamkwan @joshnorris_videographer

Rehearsals all done for our sold out Radiohead ‘The Bends’ @thevoxset concert tomorrow in Mussenden Temple. Had a lovely group of friends today in @courthousebangor for a wee run through. So buzzing for this. Thank you so much to everyone who bought tickets and are making the journey up the north coast… can’t wait!! ❤️ 📸 : @grahamsmith 🙏 @thevoxset @wearestuntdoublemusic @nationaltrustnorthcoast

It’s been 30 years since Radiohead’s The Bends first landed in record stores, and somehow, it still feels as alive and resonant as it did in 1995. Please join us in the magical Mussenden Temple on Saturday 9th August for a very special and intimate @thevoxset concert where we will strip down, reimagine, and rebuild this masterpiece album. From start to finish.. from the opening shimmer of “Planet Telex” to the haunting farewell of “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” and everything in between… Our hope for this concert is for you all to hear these much loved, familiar songs with fresh ears and to fall in love with them all over again. No vocals. Just raw emotion, tension, and beauty; unplugged and unfiltered. There are just a few tickets remaining. We would love to see you there ❤️🎻 For tickets head to @nationaltrustnorthcoast for a link in their bio @thevoxset @wearestuntdoublemusic @nationaltrustnorthcoast @nationaltrustni 📸: @vlatko_mitashev . . . . #thevoxset #nationaltrustni #foreveryoneforever
