The Highstool Prophets bring a powerhouse show to Belfast this October
Belfast fans are in for a wild night this autumn as The Highstool Prophets, one of Ireland’s most energetic live bands, arrive at the Telegraph Building on 24 October 2025 for a show that promises old-school charm and high-octane folk rock.
Known for their rowdy pub-style banter, melded with traditional Irish roots and modern acoustic swagger, The Highstool Prophets have built a reputation that reaches far beyond the pub floors of Tullamore. Formed over a decade ago, the band has gained a loyal following thanks to raucous performances and a sound that pays homage to the classics while blazing its own trail. Their discography ranges from whiskey-soaked tales to heartfelt ballads, with plenty of fiddle breaks thrown in to keep the dance floor moving.
I caught one of their gigs in Galway a few years back and still remember the crowd chanting louder than the band — and that is saying something when you are facing down a wall of banjo, accordion, and bodhrán. If Belfast likes its gigs messy, loud and packed with character, this one is shaping up to be a bullseye.
The band’s most recent run of shows have seen them sell out venues across Ireland, drawing packed crowds eager for a setlist that jumps from foot-stomping anthems to finely crafted originals. Their dynamic delivery and undeniable chemistry on stage have fans showing up early and singing until closing. With shows described as a mix between a concert and a session down the local, their appearance in Belfast is expected to bring the same chaos by design.
For those unfamiliar with their origins, The Irish Examiner once ran a feature tracing their journey from pub gigs to main stages, highlighting how their grassroots hustle brought national attention. Beyond their music, the band’s connection to their fans has become legendary, often staying long after their sets to share a pint or story.
They have also been supported by a loyal community on platforms like Hot Press which has regularly championed their music as an example of Ireland’s modern folk revival.
This Belfast date is the first on their latest tour. With the energy the Prophets bring, the Telegraph Building could well need a few reinforcements before the weekend ends. The next part of the tour paints a vivid picture, but first — a closer look at what makes this venue the perfect match and why demand for tickets has already started buzzing.
