Glory Days - 1980s Tribute Concert, Market Place Theatre Armagh

What to Expect

Glory Days is a nostalgic concert built around the biggest hits of the 1980s, playing Market Place Theatre’s main auditorium on Saturday 12 September 2026. Rather than focusing on a single act, the show pulls together a set of well-known 80s rock and pop songs performed live, aimed at an audience who want a full evening of decade nostalgia rather than a single tribute act. It sits alongside the theatre’s other September concerts, including Realta and Robert Mizzell’s Nashville Songbook the same week, as part of a busy run of live music through the month.

Shows like this tend to draw a mixed crowd looking for a singalong night out rather than a seated, quiet concert, so expect a livelier atmosphere than some of the theatre’s other programming. The venue’s 400-seat auditorium and full in-house sound system suit a band-led rock show well.

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.

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 beforehand.
