Duke Special - Two Nights at The Empire - 2025
Duke Special makes a return to his favourite venue with TWO back to back hometown shows this December
Tickets go on sale now from Ticketmaster and in person from the venue.
Wednesday 3 December
Duke Special
with The Fews Ensemble
presents The Juliet Letters
This very special collaboration between Duke Special and The Fews Ensemble focuses on The Juliet Letters, a remarkable recording made by Elvis Costello and The Brodsky Quartet just over 30 years ago. Inspired by a newspaper article, the album, written by Costello and the members of the Brodsky Quartet, imagines all kinds of letters being written to an imaginary recipient, Juliet Capulet.
The first half will be a programme of Duke originals and pieces inspired by The Juliet Letters; the second half will be a performance of the album in its entirety. This is a stunning retelling of a unique album and will be mostly seated (unreserved).
Thursday 4 December
Duke Special
with Band and Guests
Just before Christmas at the Empire has become something of a Duke Special regular occasion
Expect the band, expect guests and surprises, expect another unforgettable night at one of Belfast’s most iconic venues.
Duke Special says. ‘Playing The Belfast Empire Music Hall at the end of a year feels like bringing home all the stories I have gathered recently and sharing them with friends and family.’
