Gabrielle Aplin – to play Belfasts Empire Muisc Hall

From her Gold-certified #2 debut album ‘English Rain’, 4 number 1 singles (globally), to achieving her highest chart position in almost a decade with 2023’s “Phosphorescent, Gabrielle Aplin has proven to be one of the UK’s most accomplished and engaging singer-songwriters with over 1 billion streams.

Aplin first rose to prominence with her hauntingly beautiful cover of ‘The Power of Love’, recorded for the 2012 John Lewis Christmas advert. The song soared to No.1 on the UK Singles Chart, introducing the world to her spell binding voice and emotionally charged performances. She followed up with ‘English Rain’, a debut album that showcased her ability to craft deeply personal yet universally relatable songs. Tracks like ‘Please Don’t Say You Love Me’, ‘Panic Cord’, and ‘Home’ became anthems for a generation, earning her a dedicated fanbase and a reputation as one of Britain’s most captivating singer- songwriters.

Now celebrating 15 years of music, Aplin has officially announced a vinyl repressing of said debut album ‘English Rain’, including bonus song ‘Start Again’ from beloved television series ‘Skins’. Followed by a ‘English Rain 2026’ EU & UK Tour.

Beyond her music, Aplin continues to nurture the next generation of artists through Never Fade Records, the independent label she founded over a decade ago. Passionate about sustainability, creativity, and authentic artistry, she remains a beacon of independence in an industry often dominated by trends.

With a career spanning more than a decade, Gabrielle Aplin has never been one to stand still. As she embarks on this next phase, she remains as fearless and compelling as ever —an artist whose music continues to evolve, but whose heart remains in every note she sings.
