What’s On

Horizon and Line 512 are amongst the most exciting teen newcomer bands in the country. With sets spanning iconic indie anthems, through to alt rock classics and bedroom pop, they’ve already sold out shows in Belfast and been delighting audiences as far as Letterkenny. They’ve been picked for youth programs both north and south of the border, opened for established bands and have their first festival slots under their belts already - ones to see on their way up!

Open mic at Accidental Theatre with a full backline of instruments & mics. For performers or audiences interested in diverse & experimental music & jamming. All performers get a video recording of their set!

Performers, buy one ‘Performer Ticket’ per act.

Everyone else, buy an ‘Audience Ticket’!

If you’re a solo act, just buy a single Performer Ticket and you’re set. If you’re an act with more than one person, buy one Performer Ticket and as many extra Audience Tickets as you need to cover all your performers (so a trio needs 1 Performer Ticket and 2 Audience Tickets, for example).

Most performers find they have 10-12mins of actual performance time as slots are normally 15mins long total, including set-up and take-down time. If there are a lot of sign-ups in a given month, slots may be shorter and we may have to forgo the jam!

Mind Bender’s The Experience is a thrilling blend of magic, mind-reading, comedy, and a signature daring escape. Seen on Canada’s Got Talent and performed for Princess Cruises, this high-energy show mixes illusion and audience interaction for a night you won’t forget. The tour hits Belfast on September 19th 2026 one show only so get ready to witness the impossible. Buy your tickets now.
