Michael Bublé jokes about 'Bublé-bies' ahead of Belfast Belsonic show
On July 1, Michael Bublé is set to take the stage at Belsonic in Ormeau Park, Belfast, with singer Gabrielle as his opening act. The Canadian artist humorously suggested that after his outdoor performances, the population of the host cities will increase, referring to them as 'Bublé-bies'. It has been since 2019 that Bublé last performed in Belfast, where he was serenaded by 13-year-old Síomha Nic Bhrádaigh with the Irish song An Cáilín Álainn at the SSE Arena. He also toured Titanic studios and took a seat on the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones. Although he has reduced his touring due to fatherhood, his children will accompany him. Bublé possesses a signed Belfast Giants jersey and talked about bringing fans together following the USA's victory over Canada in ice hockey at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
