Taking the train to Belfast is a relaxing two-hour journey, which costs around €40 return. The train station is less than 15 minutes walk from Custom House Square and the city centre and surrounds are brimming with a huge selection of accommodation to suit all tastes and pockets! Belsonic is Belfast’s most exciting summer music event which takes place from August 27^th to 29^th in the historic Custom House Square and spills over into the bustling laneways, bars, restaurants and cafes of the Cathedral Quarter. August 27^th will feature Dizzie Rascal, Vampire Weekend and many more, while on Friday August 28^th Belfast city centre will shake to the beats of 2ManyDJs, Deadmau5, Boys Noize and more to be announced. The festival will close with Duke Special’s DUKEBOX on Saturday August 29^th. Tickets for all events can be purchased through the usual Ticketmaster outlets.
