Just in time for the festive season, beloved Irish worship band Rend Collective invites listeners to gather 'round for a joyful and distinctly Celtic celebration with their brand-new holiday album, Christmas In Belfast.
Anchored by the exuberant lead single "Christmas In Belfast (Sláinte!)," the project captures the warmth, laughter, and faith that define an Irish Christmas. The album blends foot-stomping folk rhythms, rich harmonies, and heartfelt worship, creating an atmosphere where the sacred and the celebratory dance together.
"Christmas has always been about coming home - to family, to community, and ultimately to Jesus," says Rend Collective's Gareth Gilkeson. "We wanted this album to sound like that feeling of home, but with a distinctly Belfast flavor - full of joy, togetherness, and a few Irish toasts along the way."
The project includes a mix of new originals and reimagined classics, including "A Christmas Hymn (Come Thou Fount)," "Mary Did You Know," "Carol of the Bells," "Feliz Navidad," and "Room at the Inn." With its blend of infectious energy and spiritual depth, Christmas In Belfast showcases the band's signature "joyful rebellion" - a reminder that worship can be both reverent and raucous.
Fans can stream Christmas In Belfast now on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. A festive live video for "Christmas In Belfast (Sláinte!)" is also available on the band's official YouTube channel.
