Belfast is the place to be for music fans this August with a second wave of UNBELIEVABLY MASSIVE names announced for Belsonic!

Due to the overwhelming response to the 2010 line-up and unprecedented sales so far, BELSONIC in association with ABSOLUT is set to expand, with the announcement of four additional shows, to comprise a total of eight nights at Belfast's Custom House Square this August. Significantly building on the massive success of the past 2 years, the 2010 line-up represents one of the largest Northern Irish outdoor music events to date.

Leading the charge on this second phase of announcements are English rock giants Kasabian, Scottish singer/songwriter Paolo Nutini, BRIT award winning indie outfit Florence & The Machine, and Welsh rock stalwarts Stereophonics.

Each act individually could be considered the highest profile in the history of the event, however combined with previously announced headliners (Paul Weller, David Guetta, Biffy Clyro, Lost Prophets and 2ManyDJs / Soulwax), Belsonic 2010 in Association with ABSOLUT is set to be a landmark cultural event for the city. Here are the key dates.

Kasabian - Tuesday August 17th 2010
Paolo Nutini - Wednesday August 18th
Florence & The Machine - Thursday 19th
Stereophonics-  Friday 20th
