Description
BELSONIC, located in Custom House Square in Belfast, and running from 11th – 16th August, will comprise a series of one-day, large scale out-door events, delivering all the atmosphere of a music festival in the most urban and convenient of settings, and presenting an unprecedented opportunity for a Northern Irish audience to get this close to some of the worlds’ largest artists, while basking in this warmth of this bespoke location.
BELSONIC's opening night will feature a headline performance from multi Platinum selling, and Grammy Award winning, U.S. alternative rock band THE FLAMING LIPS, considered by many to be the highlight of 2006's Electric Picnic Festival, and cited by Q Magazine as 'Of Of The 50 Bands To See Before You Die'. Supported by Oppenheimer, Jape and Mogwai.
The Enemy supported by Reverend and the Makers, Fighting with Wire , Future of the Left and General Fiasco will play at Belsonic on Thursday 14th August 08.
August 15th's lineup will be headlined by THE ZUTONS. Self styled as “Liverpool's first great band of the 21st century”, The Zutons' boisterous, hook-laden music has scored them a string of hit singles. They will be supported by The Go! Team, The Mystery Jets, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, Delorentos and Skibunny.
