Belmont Rock & Blues Festival

Belmont Rock & Blues Festival is back again this autumn, bringing three incredible days of live music to Belfast. Running from Friday 6th to Sunday 8th November at the welcoming Belmont Bowling Club, this highly anticipated weekend is a must-attend for any genuine music fan.

Known for its fantastic atmosphere, the festival offers a proper "listening experience" where you can truly appreciate the world-class musicianship on display. The organisers have put together a stellar line-up featuring some of the very best rock and blues outfits from across Ireland, ranging from high-energy blues-rock headliners to soulful, roots-focused afternoon sessions.

It is the perfect way to spend a chilly November weekend surrounded by great music and a brilliant crowd.

You can pick up tickets online via TicketSource.

A full 3-day pass is £40, which is great value if you're planning to catch the whole weekend. If you can only make it for a bit, individual day tickets are available too.
