They will perform as part of the ‘Lovely Day for a Visit’ seasonal offering, which features all the summer must-dos under one roof.
The Belfast duo are one of two special gigs announced at the popular tourist attraction on June 21 whilst on July 4, singer Kelis will also perform at the venue.

Hot on the heels of Dermot Kennedy’s recent performance, the first of its kind on the roof of the Guinness Storehouse, Kelis and BICEP will continue the series of incredible ticketed live music shows taking place across summer in the heart of the Liberties in Dublin 8.
What’s more, this will be Kelis’s only Irish performance in 2023, the year that marks the 20th anniversary of the star’s iconic hit “Milkshake".
Having sold out Dublin’s 3Arena for their epic St. Patrick’s Day show earlier this year, BICEP has built a global reputation as one of the biggest names in underground and mainstream dance music with an avid following worldwide.
Speaking about the announcement, BICEP said: “We’ve never done a show like this before, so the chance to curate this one-off DJ show in Dublin at the Home of Guinness for our Irish fans is really exciting.”
With years of chart-topping songs, resulting in millions of albums sold and numerous top 10 tracks, Kelis has released six albums, won Brit, Q and NME awards and has been nominated for two Grammys.
Preparing for her firework performance at the Guinness Storehouse, Kelis said: “I am so excited to return to Ireland, especially as it’s so well known for art, culture and music – I just love coming here.
"I can’t wait to come back and be part of the Guinness Storehouse summer programme and get everyone up on their feet, dancing and celebrating this 4th July.”
The ‘Lovely Day for a Visit’ summer experience captures the best of the Irish outdoors under one roof.
Everyone’s favourites, the beach and the park, have been reimagined throughout the Guinness Storehouse by Irish illustrator and Guinness collaborator Fatti Burke and include an indoor beach installation, the leafy greens of the Irish park and a bespoke busking piano for visitors to enjoy.
Meanwhile, Irish designer Cyan Ryan’s work will also be featured throughout the iconic building, reimagining the Guinness archives in a new way. Aches’ fantastic ‘We’ll be Dancin’ in the Sun artwork is also available for everyone to view at the Home of Guinness this summer as the perfect Instagram background.
‘A Lovely Day for a Visit’ at the Guinness Storehouse will run from Wednesday 7th June 2023, and is open daily from 10am. The exhibition is included in each experience ticket. The Guinness Storehouse is open seven days a week.
