Flaming New Festival
A new Belfast Music Festival, Belsonic, has been announced and has reeled in the Flaming Lips to headline the events debut in August.
It’ll be the first ever headline appearance in Northern Ireland by the band, who’ll be bringing their highly acclaimed live show to Belfast on Monday 11 August.
The legendary US band's exclusive Irish performance for summer 2008 is the first to be confirmed for the new outdoor music event, which will take place in Belfast’s Custom House Square. Belsonic will be a series of very special one-day events bringing the best in music to the heart of the city.
Also confirmed for the show are indie rock outfit The Zutons, who have taken up the second day slot on Friday 15th August.
So far, many of the other acts performing at the event are yet to be confirmed, although early reports suggest Belfast Duo Oppenheimer will be supporting the Flaming Lips' performance.
Praised for their elaborate theatrical live shows, The Flaming Lips were hailed recently as one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die" by Q magazine.
The award winning and multi platinum selling alternative rock experimentalists have won rave reviews for their exciting and attention grabbing performances at major festivals worldwide in recent years.
Many other major artists are anticipated to arrive this August for the festival, which will comprise a series of one day events combining established names with the hottest emerging talent.
Each Belsonic show will be a multi artist presentation, with a festival feel, taking place in the old historic city centre alongside the vibrant Cathedral Quarter area.
Tickets for The Flaming Lips and full supporting bill on 11 August are £35.00 (inc booking fee) and go on advance sale from Belsonic at 9.00am, Monday 12th May from Belsonic or from The Stiff Kitten bar.
