Grammy-winning legend Billy Ocean chooses the Millennium Forum for the first of two exclusive shows in Northern Ireland.
Global soul icon Billy Ocean is set to make a triumphant return to the Northwest with a headline performance at the Millennium Forum on September 13.
This highly anticipated show follows his sensational appearances at the 2025 City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival. Due to phenomenal demand, Ocean performed two sold-out nights at the Millennium Forum, which were widely acclaimed as the highlight of the festival.
With a career spanning five decades and over 30 million record sales worldwide, the Grammy Award winner has selected Derry as the opening night of a two-date Northern Ireland visit this autumn.
Born in Trinidad before settling in London, Billy Ocean has secured a string of worldwide number ones across the USA, Australia, Germany, Holland, and the UK.
His accolades include an MBE for services to music, a Grammy award for best male R&B Vocal Performance, the Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement, two Billboard Music awards, the 2010 MOBO lifetime achievement award, and an Honorary Doctorate in music from Westminster University.

Tickets for the September 13 show in Derry are expected to be in high demand following his previous sell-out success.
