Van Morrison is to play Belfast's Custom House Square in August.

The gig, featuring some unannounced special guests, will be held on Friday August 19.

Sir Van recently released his 42nd studio album, Latest Record Project Vol 1, a 28 track double album delving into his ongoing love of blues, R&B, jazz and soul.

The singer has already played a series of concerts in the US this year.

He is facing legal action over comments he made about Stormont health minister Robin Swann last year.

Tickets for the Custom House Square gig will go on sale tomorrow at 9am from ticketmaster.ie.
