Rock fans turn out to love The Enemy
Friday, 15 August 2008
Rockers and revellers turned out in force once again last night for the second evening of Northern Ireland’s biggest summer music festival this year.
Belsonic kicked off at Custom House Square for day two of its three-date run at the redeveloped city centre site.
Coventry band The Enemy were the star turn last night with hits from their top-selling debut album We'll Live and Die in These Towns.
The band were supported by guests Reverend and the Makers, Future of the Left and local acts Fighting with Wire and General Fiasco.
The square has been transformed into a 5,000-capacity concert venue for the event, complete with massive stage and bar and food stalls.
Local rock history was made on Monday night when top US alt rockers The Flaming Lips took the stage for their first gig in Northern Ireland and their only Irish date of 2008.
The group dazzled fans with a spectacular set, which kicked off with a memorable entrance from frontman Wayne Coyne as he ‘crowd-surfed’ inside a massive plastic bubble. The festival will continue tonight when Liverpool group The Zutons hit town. The festival has been hailed as Belfast’s main music event this summer.
