Born in Liverpool to parents from Newry, Carter moved to Ireland at 18 and now resides in County Fermanagh. He will take the stage alongside other country acts, including The Whistlin’ Donkeys and Lisa McHugh, at the festival scheduled for August 2025 in Falls Park.

Féile Belfast has confirmed that more acts will be revealed later.




This new Country Festival, part of the annual arts festival, follows the success of Féile an Phobail’s Way Out West event this August, which also featured Carter, The Whistlin’ Donkeys, and the trad band All Folk’d Up.

It comes after this summer’s Belsonic Farmers Bash.

Tickets for the event go on sale Thursday, starting at £20 on Ticketmaster.ie.
