The five-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter announced the tour, highlighting his headline performance at Belsonic in Ormeau Park, Belfast, on 1 July 2026, supported by singer Gabrielle. This marks his first show in Belfast since 2019.
' He described outdoor gigs as romantic, under the stars, with swaying and a couple of glasses of wine, acting as an aphrodisiac. Bublé has slowed down touring since having his children.
His children will join him on the tour and are excited to see Papi and come on a little holiday. He said he loves being a story-teller and that much of it involves playing to 50,000 people where even the person in the very back feels like they had a moment. In 2019, Bublé performed in Belfast at the SSE Arena.
A 13-year-old girl's performance at that show went viral on social media. During his last visit to Belfast, Bublé visited the Titanic studios and sat on the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones. Bublé stated he is a huge ice hockey fan and ambassador of the game.
He owns a Belfast Giants jersey signed by the whole team. After the USA ice hockey team beat Canada to win gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Bublé posted on Instagram to promote unity as a high-profile Canadian. Bublé said this is the time to bring together the 90% of like-minded people with the same values, shut out the far-right and far-left, and recognize most are closer in the centre.
The BBC reported these details from Bublé's interview and announcements.
