An Evening with Imelda May

Thursday, February 19, 2026 - National Opera House

Imelda May’s February 2026 itinerary reaches National Opera House on 19 February, following her appearance at Ulster Hall. As the featured performer, she shapes the evening around a blend of blues, jazz and rockabilly, revisiting the atmospheric songs of "11 Past the Hour" alongside staples such as "Big Bad Handsome Man" and "Beautiful Day". The opera house setting suits the dynamic range of her set, from quieter, jazz‑coloured moments to the more hard‑driving rockabilly sections. Sitting in the later stages of the 18‑date tour, this show benefits from a well‑honed band sound and a carefully paced running order.
