✨ BAND ANNOUNCEMENT ✨

We are so excited to officially welcome Desertmartin Accordion Band to the lineup for this September's Belfast International Tattoo!

This is an incredibly special year to have them join us, as 2026 marks the band’s landmark 65th anniversary. Since forming in 1961, the band has kept its strong family-orientated roots alive, with names like Palmer and Austin still proudly performing today just as they did over six decades ago.

Over the years, their sound has dramatically evolved under Musical Director Victor Brownlow, expanding from humble hymn tunes into intricate part music and the grand, booming marches they are known for today.

To celebrate 65 years of music and tradition, they will be taking the arena floor alongside their close friends from Aughafatten Accordion Band. It's going to be a spectacular display of local musical heritage! 👏

Don't miss this incredible milestone performance. Secure your seats today!
