Waterfront Hall date for Rick Astley

The singer will be appearing at the Waterfront Hall, Belfast, on March 20 next year.

This follows what’s already been a whirlwind for year for the star from his first number 1 album in 29 years to an original run of shows in April that all sold out immediately.

The Grammy-nominated star released 50 last month - his first studio album in over a decade marking a return to his musical roots.

“The response to the new material has been genuinely overwhelming. I’ve been overjoyed by the way the public have taken the songs of 50 to their hearts. I could not be more excited to share it with my fans everywhere,” Rick said.

With over 40 million records sold, and a vast collection of chart-topping hits on both sides of the Atlantic to his name, Astley remains one of the most successful solo artists to have ever emerged from Britain.

Tickets for the Waterfront Hall show go on sale Friday, July 8 at 9.30am from the Waterfront Hall Box Office on 028 9033 4455 and online at www.waterfront.co.uk
