VAN Morrison will perform at the Millennium Forum later this year, it has been announced.
The east Belfast singer will perform at the venue on Sunday, May 6.
His appearance will be part of the annual City of Derry Jazz Festival.
Tickets go on sale from Friday, January 19 at 9am.
The Moondance star will be performing songs from his two 2017 albums, Roll with the Punched and Versatile, as well as the greatest hits from his extensive back catalogue of music.
Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Cllr. Maolíosa McHugh said he is delighted Van Morrison is making a long awaited return to the City of Derry Jazz Festival in 2018 saying it was a huge coup for the festival.
He added: “The Council, as organisers of the City of Derry Jazz Festival, is delighted to be working alongside the Millennium Forum & MCD to secure this top quality act for the festival.
“The last time Van Morrison performed as part of the Jazz Festival was back in 2012 and we are delighted to have him back this year.
“We are confident he will be a huge draw for jazz and blues music fans from all over the island of Ireland and are looking forward to another hugely successful May Bank Holiday weekend of festival fun.”
