Northern Ireland’s first dedicated soul, jazz, and funk festival, Soultrane, is set to return to Mandela Hall in Belfast on 22nd February 2025. After a successful debut, the festival will once again feature a diverse line-up, including performances from UK neo-soul artist Terri Walker, Natasha Watts, Knats, and more.

Founded by artist and Radio Ulster host Siobhan Brown and her husband, soul DJ David Brown, Soultrane Festival aims to showcase Music of Black Origin across Northern Ireland, offering a platform for genres such as soul, gospel, jazz, and afro-soul. The event celebrates the rich cultural heritage of these genres, with an emphasis on supporting both established and emerging artists.

Organisers have announced that applications are now open for artists interested in performing at the 2025 event.

In addition to the performances already confirmed, more artists will be announced in the lead-up to the festival. Early bird tickets are now on sale.
