Belsonic Is Back Baby!! Kicks Off This Thursday with The Stereophonics !!
We got a sneak preview today of Belsonic’s 2025 party, which kicks off later this week with one of the UK’s finest rock bands, The Stereophonics, who are back in Belfast opening up Belsonic 2025 with their Stadium Anthems run of dates. We took a walk around the site today at Ormeau Park in Belfast and got a feel for all the work that goes into organising and bringing to life one of Northern Ireland’s finest summer festivals. This year, we have ten killer gigs lined up for you that will tickle your fancy regardless of genre.
There’s still lots of hustling going on at Ormeau Park as we speak, only a few days to kick off and plenty to do to get it ship shape for those music-loving fans who will arrive in their droves to set Belfast alight this Thursday evening. Check out the full lineup here:

One of the UK’s most enduring and loved bands Stereophonics have today announced their biggest ever tour for summer 2025. Stadium Anthems promises to be a journey through the band’s incredible career, with no hit left behind.
Although Kelly has been busy touring and recording with Far From Saints (UK #5) and his acclaimed solo album and tour Inevitable Incredible, (UK #6) this will be Stereophonics first tour in three years. Starting in Belfast at Belsonic, Stereophonics will play some of the UK and Ireland’s biggest venues including Dublin St. Anne’s Park, Cork Virgin Media Park, London Finsbury Park, Huddersfield John Smith’s Stadium, and Glasgow Bellahouston Park as part of Summer Sessions. The tour culminates with a huge hometown return to Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
Kelly said: “Being on the road again with my best friends, playing all the hits of this bands catalogue, for people in huge outdoor gatherings through the summer of 2025 makes me so excited, we should make a new album…oh wait …we already did that! See ya there for more good times….TUNE!!! TUNE!!! TUNE!!”
