Like many festivals it is likely to sport a top atmosphere and plenty to see and do, whilst the music acts announced with each year are amongst some of the best in the business.
The festival has been running at Custom House Square in Belfast since August 2008 and since that date it has grown in size by monumental proportions. Many festivals manage to expand in size with popularity, but few can boast an expansion from a three day weekend to the eight day juggernaut that was announced for 2010. It is a feat that ensures we will be hearing a lot from the Belsonic Festival in years to come, as music lovers in Belfast descend on Custom House Square.
Another thing that sets Belsonic apart from other festivals is the way in which ticketing is organised; with audiences booking tickets for individual days. So rather than buy a full ticket and being forced to witness bands you might not appreciate, you can choose which days suit you best. With eight days in 2010 it has meant audiences had a host of shows to choose from, with Kasabian, Paolo Nutini, Florence and the Machine, Stereophonics, Paul Welller, Biffy Clyro, Soulwax and David Guetta amongst the headline acts (with support like Ash, Lost Prophets, Fake Blood, The Courteeners and more). In the years previous it also boasted musicians such as Dizzee Rascal, 2 Many DJs, Vampire Weekend, The Magic Numbers, The Flaming Lips, Mogwai, The Enemy and The Zutons, plus various others.
So make sure you get hold of Belsonic Festival tickets whilst you have the chance, so that you can witness some of the biggest names in music taking to the stage and performing within Custom House Square, Belfast. With an exciting atmosphere and some gripping performances, it is likely to be an event to remember.
