Halestorm's Lzzy & Joe

Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger strip Halestorm back to its bones for an acoustic night that leans on voice, guitar and songwriting. Co-founders of the US band formed in Pennsylvania, they step out of the amplifier roar to revisit the group’s catalogue in a more intimate frame, from early staples to tracks off Back from the Dead. Lzzy’s vocal range and phrasing take center stage, switching from grit to clarity, while Joe’s guitar work redraws the lines with alternate voicings and delicate dynamics. Together they reshape melodies, slow-burn bridges and big choruses into something closer to the songs’ first spark.

Rooted in hard rock with shades of post-grunge, alt metal and classic rock, Halestorm has spent years toggling between fiery riffs and heavy ballads. This unplugged set at Limelight, Belfast, on 20 June 2026, pulls on that thread: stories behind the tracks, harmonies upfront, riffs softened into textures, and room for silences that don’t fit a full-stack show. Expect a set that connects their studio cuts and road-tested favorites to the craft that built them, including a nod to the Grammy-marking era of Love Bites (So Do I) without the distortion, just the song speaking for itself.
