Internationally renowned husband and wife duo,  Keith and Kristyn Getty will return to Belfast this December for a spectacular one-night-only performance of their much-celebrated Christmas concert, Home for Christmas, at the SSE Arena on Monday 22nd December 2025.

The announcement follows the overwhelming success of two sold-out shows in Belfast last year, which drew audiences from across Northern Ireland and beyond. Once again, the Gettys are set to bring their distinctive blend of traditional carols, Celtic heritage, and Nashville-inspired arrangements to the heart of their hometown during the festive season.

Joining the Gettys on stage will be the outstanding New Irish Arts, under the direction of Jonathan Rea, alongside a host of virtuoso instrumentalists and special guests. The combination of choir, orchestra, and top-tier musicianship creates a rich and layered soundscape that brings new life to both well-known carols and original compositions.

The Belfast concert forms part of a three-date UK tour, which will also include performances at SEC Armadillo in Glasgow and the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London. The SSE Arena show will be the tour’s grand finale and the only Northern Ireland date — making it a must-see event for local audiences.

Keith and Kristyn Getty, originally from Lisburn and Belfast respectively, have become leading figures in the global hymn-writing movement. Their work has reshaped modern worship music with songs that are both theologically rich and musically engaging.

‘In Christ Alone’ is widely regarded as one of the most significant hymns of the 21st century and is sung in churches across the world every week.

Over the past two decades, the Gettys have taken their music to some of the most prestigious stages internationally, including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington, and the Sydney Opera House. Their annual Christmas tours in the US have become a staple of the holiday season, drawing thousands each year.

Now, with Home for Christmas returning to Belfast, local audiences will once again have the opportunity to experience a concert that blends artistry, tradition, and worship — all in a festive, family-friendly atmosphere.

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am. Given the rapid sell-out of last year’s events, early booking is strongly advised.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of the Gettys’ music or discovering them for the first time, Home for Christmas promises to be an unforgettable evening in celebration of faith, hope, and the joy of the Christmas season.
