Cash Returns - The Man in Black, Market Place Theatre Armagh

What to Expect

Cash Returns - The Man in Black is an authentic tribute show built around the songs of Johnny Cash, playing Market Place Theatre’s main auditorium on Friday 4 September 2026. The show works through Cash’s classic hits with a full band on stage, aiming for the deep-voiced, stripped-back delivery that made the originals so recognisable. It is one of a run of tribute and covers shows the theatre programmes through September and October, alongside its country music and comedy line-up.

Tribute nights like this are a regular feature of Market Place Theatre’s autumn programme, and this one is aimed squarely at Cash fans and anyone who grew up on his catalogue of outlaw country and gospel-tinged ballads. Expect a full evening set rather than a support-act format, staged in the venue’s main 400-seat auditorium.

Getting There

Market Place Theatre sits on Market Street in Armagh city centre. Armagh is roughly 40 minutes from Belfast via the A3, and around an hour from Dublin via the M1 and A28. Translink buses run from Belfast’s Europa Buscentre into Armagh bus station on Lonsdale Road, a short walk from the theatre, and pay-and-display parking is available nearby on Thomas Street and Scotch Street. The venue is wheelchair accessible.

While You’re in Armagh

Armagh’s compact city centre makes it easy to build a full evening around a show. Two cathedrals, both named St Patrick’s, sit on facing hilltops in the city, and the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium is a short walk from Market Street. A number of pubs and restaurants around the Shambles and English Street are within easy reach for dinner before the show.
