Grammy-Award Winner Bonnie Raitt brings her headlining tour to Belfast at the Ulster Hall on 01 June 2025!
Bonnie Raitt is coming back to celebrate! In 2023, just months after winning three GRAMMY Awards, including Song of the Year for Just Like That. Now in 2025, Raitt will return to UK and Ireland just months after being celebrated for her lifetime of artistic achievements at the 47th Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, DC this December.
Raitt is eager to return to these shores and perform songs from across her catalog, coming back to Vicar St in Dublin for 2 nights and a show at the Ulster Hall added this time around - her first appearance in Belfast for almost 20 years.
Raitt made an unexpected splash in music industry headlines last month when Essex-native Charli XCX via her collaborator Justin Vernon sampled and interpolated "Nick of Time," the title track from Raitt's
1989 release that earned the GRAMMY Award for Album of the Year. The new track I think about it all the time featuring bon iver is included on Charli's new remix album, Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat, and whose message about "running out of time" has resonated with younger generations just as it did for Raitt's contemporaries 35 years ago.
Raitt says, “When I started, I was idolizing my heroes like Sippie Wallace, Muddy Waters, and Judy Collins, and now I get to be appreciated like they were.”
Bonnie Raitt is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose unique style blends blues, R&B, rock, and pop. After 20 years as a cult favourite, she broke through to the top in the early 90s with her GRAMMY-award-winning albums, Nick of Time and Luck of the Draw, which featured hits, “Something To Talk About” and “I Can’t Make You Love Me” among others. The thirteen-time GRAMMY winner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and Rolling Stone named the slide guitar ace one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and one of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time.”
