GIFTED returns to the Belfast Empire on Thursday 28th November 2024 for an alt rock banger.

Headliner on the night is PiNKSLiPS who will be joined by Anderson Nightmare, PARKER & Lauren Ann.

PiNKSLiPS are songwriter Gerry Norman (A Plastic Rose), guitarist David McGaughey, Shane Watters on drums & Carl Gilmore (Wynona Bleach). They focus on high energy, riff based guitars, rhythmic groove & anthemic choruses.

Anderson Nightmare are Owen & Enda Strathern with lifelong friend Stephen Leacock on drums. Based in Belfast, they met at school before releasing 2 albums and going on to play shows across the world as General Fiasco.

PARKER always seem to be on tour & always releasing pure unadulterated infectious rock efforts which has marked the band out as a burgeoning new talent.

Growing up listening to artists such as Nirvana, Pixies and The Cure, Lauren Ann finds a way to shine these influences through her own music, making her tracks refreshing yet nostalgic to listen to.
