More acts set for Belsonic

Knife Party, You Me at Six, The Coronas, Jake Bugg and Kill the Noize have all been added as supporting artists to the bill for Belsonic 2012, which run from August 15-26 in Belfast’s Custom House Square.

Headline acts include Skrillex, Emeli Sande, Madness, Thin Lizzy, Paramore, Noel Gallagher, Two Door Cinema Club, Tom Jones, James Morrision and David Guetta.

Knife Party and Kill the Noize join Skrillex and Dillon Francis on August 15.

You Me at Six will play main support to Paramore on Sunday, August 19. The band are at an all time high in their career - their third LP “Sinners Never Sleep”, released in 2011, reached no. 3 in the UK albums charts, while the debut single taken from the album “Rescue Me”, has been their highest charting single to date.

Their recent Ulster Hall headline performance sold out weeks in advance, making them a huge addition to this already heavyweight bill!

Irish pop-rockers The Coronas join James Morrison, Newton Faulkner and Gareth Dunlop on August 25.

Jake Bugg makes his Belfast debut on August 20, playing special guest to Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

Looking like a young, rugged Ian Brown and sounding like Bob Dylan, Jake Bugg is 2012′s answer to Alex Turner. Arriving onto the radar last year after his performance on the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury seventeen-year-old Jake is now signed to Mercury and recently unveiled his single Lightning Bolt which Radio 1’s Zane Lowe swiftly earmarked as his ‘Single of the Week’.

Remaining tickets for all shows are available now from www.belsonic.com and Ticketmaster Outlets.
