The UK's hottest soul-rock revival hits the Ulster Hall, Belfast on 08 February 2026.
The Vintage Explosion burst into the spotlight in late 2022 when their soul-stirring take on ‘A Change is Gonna Come’ went viral. Since then, they’ve hit 4 No.1 iTunes Blues Albums, cracked the US Billboard Blues Top 10, and landed in the UK Official Album Chart Top 40 — blazing a trail with their explosive mix of vintage soul, blues, and rock ’n’ roll.

good as any of the greats!”
Their debut album ‘Havin’ Such a Good Time’ earned praise from Vintage Rock Magazine as “a stunning debut, pin-balling across genres.” Now they’re back with ‘Saturday Night’, their second studio album — and a string of major wins:
Frontman and songwriter Will Hitchell has just won the International Songwriting Competition for their original track ‘Sweet Love’.
Meanwhile, their current single ‘You Can’t Hurt Me Anymore’ has rocketed to No.1 on the iTunes Blues Chart.
After standout national TV appearances and a sold-out 2,500-capacity show at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, they’re gaining praise from legends:
Rod Stewart: “Best white soul singer I’ve ever heard.”
