An estimated 12,000 people enjoyed a magical evening of music against the backdrop of Carrickfergus Castle as the town hosted the BBC Proms in the Park in September of that year.
Space was at a premium in the immediate vicinity of the waterfront venue as residents and visitors without tickets gathered to share in the spirit of the occasion.
Have a look at these memory-jogging photos from the hugely successful event.
