FREE USA250 concert to bring the sound of Johnny Cash to Portstewart
Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council will bring the sound of Johnny Cash to Portstewart this November with a free performance by acclaimed tribute show Cash Returns.
The family-friendly concert takes place on Saturday, November 14, from 2pm to 4pm in a purpose-built marquee beside the bandstand at The Crescent, Portstewart. Seating is available on a first come, first served basis.
The performance forms part of the Council's Atlantic Sessions programme and wider USA250 celebrations, marking the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. It celebrates the area's historic and cultural connections with America through the music of Johnny Cash.
Recognised as one of Europe's leading Johnny Cash and June Carter tribute acts, Cash Returns has won multiple honours, including Best Tribute Show at the Northern Ireland Country Music Awards and Best Tribute Band at the Hot Country TV Awards.
Atlantic Sessions 2026 runs from 12-15 November across multiple venues in Portrush and Portstewart. Now in its 16th year, it will showcase more than 40 artists over four days, with performances spanning folk, bluegrass, americana, electronic, indie, rock and acoustic singer-songwriters.
Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Dawn Huggins said: "It is wonderful to see Atlantic Sessions return for its 16th year, bringing an exciting programme of musical talent to our Borough.
"This free performance by Cash Returns is a fantastic addition to the programme and provides an opportunity for residents and visitors to come together and enjoy the music of Johnny Cash, while celebrating our cultural connections with the United States as part of USA250."
Visitors are encouraged to wrap up warm and enjoy a toe-tapping afternoon of classic American country music by the coast.
