One of Ireland’s most exciting rising talents Nell Mescal is set to play a headliner show in Belfast this year.
After kicking off the year with her new single ‘Homesick’, Nell will take to the stage at the Oh Yeah Music Centre on March 2 2023.
The talented singer-songwriter is the sister of Oscar-nomianted actor Paul Mescal who is known for his role in BBC's Normal People and Aftersun.

‘Homesick’, produced by Steph Marziano, shifts the tempo from her critically acclaimed debut ‘Graduating’ - showcasing another thrilling element to this young talent’s musical dexterity.
Nell said: "I wrote Homesick on a trip to LA. It's about when I first moved to London from Ireland and really missed home, but also being determined to stick it out so it doesn’t look like I failed at moving away.
"The lyrics give a bit of insight to how hard it is to move away at a young age and the loneliness that comes with it, while the music is upbeat and hopeful to show that you can do hard things and that you can make a home wherever you go if you give it time."
Graduating’s release last summer catapulted Nell into a whirlwind six months.
The likes of i-D, The Line Of Best Fit and The Independent have all shone a light on the 19-year-old who has also been tipped as one to watch this year by NME, Rolling Stone, Dork Magazine, Gigwise and more.
