At Market Place Theatre and Arts Centre · Market Street, Armagh, Co. Armagh BT61 7BW
Robert Mizzell, one of Ireland’s well-known country music performers, brings Nashville Songbook to Market Place Theatre on Thursday 10 September 2026. The show mixes classic Nashville-style country hits with his own original material, backed by a full band, in the theatre’s main auditorium. It is a straightforward concert format rather than a tribute act - Mizzell performing under his own name rather than in character as another artist.
The date falls on a busy night for the venue, with Realta’s traditional Irish concert also on the bill elsewhere in the building the same evening, so it is worth checking which room and start time applies when booking. Robert Mizzell’s shows tend to draw a strong country music following from across County Armagh and the wider border counties, and this is one of several country-leaning concerts in the theatre’s September and October programme.
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.
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 concert.
