Belfast music festival – 365 days a year!
Fancy coming to a year-round music festival – where you choose the line-up? Whatever your musical tastes, Belfast will have a gig, festival, or concert to tickle them.
Belfast is packing in the musical acts in the next few months. Love your rock, indie, dance? At Belsonic you’ll find Kasabian and Florence + the Machine rocking, world-class DJs David Guetta and 2ManyDJs spinning and home-grown talent Cashier No.9. Guns’n’Roses will finish August with the bang that only they could in the Odyssey Arena. Soothing classical music will envelop Bangor for six days in mid-August with the Clandeboye Festival. Love your roots? Be at the front row of Old Crow Medicine Show in September, part of the Open House festival that will also host Mumford and Sons and Seasick Steve. If you’re a bit of a swaying lighter-holder, catch Simply Red in November. And if you just want to see a legend in the flesh, be on the Waterfront for soul and R&B singer Roberta Flack’s performance.
The heart of Belfast is its beats. It gives unknown talent rapturous applause in its intimate venues and pubs; it adores its local heroes who’ve taken the music world by storm; it gets to its feet en masse for Highland Dancing, Ulster-Scots Square or even some Country and Folk; and it erupts with euphoria at its music festivals!
So come join us in Belfast. Enjoy, and hope to see you here soon!
