Wunderhorse to headline CHSq this summer
Last updated 29th Jan 2026
British Rock Band Wunderhorse have just announced their biggest Belfast headline show to date at Custom House Square.
📍 Tuesday 25th August
Wunderhorse have seen their popularity snowball the old-fashioned way; winning fans over through visceral live performances and Jacob Slater’s vivid songwriting.
2024 saw ‘the arrival of a band that could become generational’ (Rolling Stone UK) with the release of their sophomore album, Midas. Recorded at Minnesota’s Pachyderm Studio (birthplace of Nirvana’s In Utero & PJ Harvey’s Rid Of Me) with producer Craig Silvey, Midas follows their acclaimed 2022 debut, Cub, and captures the visceral atmosphere of the band’s lauded live performances.
They have since played their biggest headline shows to date, won The Group Award at the 2025 Rolling Stone UK Awards, and seen their second album Midas turn silver. Wunderhorse are a band who have quickly become one of British guitar music’s most exciting outfits.
