The Vox Set returned for a second series of intimate concerts inside the iconic Mussenden Temple.

Following a stellar launch year with Stunt Double Music, 2024 delivered an eclectic mix of talented artists and curated live performances inside the Temple's 200 year old walls.

With views across the Atlantic Ocean, it is an experience like no other as both well-known and up-and-coming artists share cherished classics and new compositions.

Virtual Reality Experience

One thing ticketholders might notice when they come to the gigs is something that looks a bit like an orb on stilts. That will be the Virtual Reality camera. We're working with Stunt Double Music, The Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Ulster University to record these concerts in this cutting edge film format.

With VR you get far more of an experience of actually sitting in Mussenden Temple for the concert than traditional video allows, and it's far more accessible than it used to be. This material will be released later on in the year for more people to get a flavour of this one-of-a-kind experiences.
