The Belfast International Tattoo 2026

The Belfast International Tattoo will once again take center stage at The SSE Arena, Belfast, on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 September 2026. This much-loved annual spectacular unites local and international performers in a thrilling celebration of music, culture, and pageantry.

Renowned for its world-class production values and powerful performances, the Belfast International Tattoo has become a cornerstone of Northern Ireland’s live entertainment scene. Combining the traditions of military precision, massed pipes and drums, and contemporary artistry, the Tattoo continues to showcase the very best of homegrown and global talent. Among the first acts confirmed for 2026 are the Julianna Unicyclists, a crowd- favourite ensemble whose breathtaking unicycle routines have earned them acclaim around the world. More international and local performers will be announced in the coming months.

Tattoo Director Brian Wilson said:

“We’re proud to bring this world-class show back to Belfast. The Tattoo is about more than performance - it’s a celebration of connection, community, and the shared joy of live spectacle. 2026 will be another unforgettable year.”
