Belsonic - Belfast - June 2016

aka accounts 2010

First acts of Belsonic 2016 have just been announced.

The series of gigs will be held in June this year having always been held in August and a new venue at the Titanic venue. Given that the Euro's are on at the same time, it should add to a great atmosphere in the city. They seemed to have avoided gigs on the nights of NI and ROI games.

Nothing of interest to me there personally, be interesting to hear about the venue change. I found where it was to be appealing as well as its capacity not being too big was unique for an outdoor show.

The date change seems to just allow for acts playing Isle of White which is sort of double dipping in cases as some are playing Kilmainham also anyways as opposed to picking possible acts off Leeds/Reading bill.

Venue is very good but it appears to have changed now. It's at the Titanic museum.

Euphoria Intensifies

I liked the old venue (City Hall Square). It was really handy to get to and very, very well ran/organised there with a great atmosphere.

Wouldn't mind seeing Biffy Clyro tbh.

Ulsterbus to Dublin will get you down to Newry, but don't think they stop in Dundalk. Bus and taxi?

What's the venue like? Outdoors or marquee? Grass or hard surface? Beer tents, etc?

I was up there last Saturday night for Madness. Venue is great, it's outdoors right in front of the Titanic museum.
Tarmac surface in front of the stage and grass up the back where the toilets are. There was no Que for the bar or toilets last Saturday.
