It always seemed inevitable that Belsonic would outgrow Custom House Square and when the launch invites where headlined with 'A New Beginning...', changes were afoot.
But the change of venue to a brand new bigger location at the Titanic Belfast building is not all, the festival will end once and for all it's yearly clash with Tennent's Vital by happening two months earlier, in June.
Across June eight confirmed acts, Ellie Goulding, Biffy Clyro, Foals and Faithless will bring the party to just slightly further away than last year.
Although, having just reread the last press information, I've noticed it does say "the first wave of acts...". Does that mean more is yet to be announced..?
The line-up includes:
Tiesto
Oliver Heldens, Thursday 09 June
Faithless
Saturday 11 June
Bring Me The Horizon
Friday 17 June
Foals
Thursday 23 June
Biffy Clyro
Saturday 25 June
David Guetta

The full support line-up is still to be announced, keep an eye on belsonic.comand on Facebook and Twitter for ongoing announcements.
