The third annual Arthur's Day celebrations aren't far away and the studio line up for Belfast has been announced and tickets go on sale in the morning!

The Enemy, Ash, DJ Fresh and Cashier No. 9 will all play to crowds at the Ulster Hall- before The Enemy and Ash each go on to play at an intimate pub venue somewhere in the city.

The Botanic Inn, The Errigle Inn, The Cloth Ear, The Empire and Lavery's will all be hosting live music on 22nd September as part of the Ireland-wide festivities- but the lucky gals and guys who get tickets for these venues will not know who is performing until the night itself.

Alongside The Enemy and Ash, pub acts announced so far include Foy Vance, Furlo, The Beat Poets, Them Changes and Gareth Dunlop - and loads of other great musicians.

The Enemy who performed at Whelan's, Dublin on Arthur's Day 2009 say: "It's an honour to be invited back and bringing Arthur's Day to the people of Belfast. For us the magic of the day is performing for fans in a local boozer... you just can't beat the atmosphere, the excitement and the surprise that the day brings. And with all of it being for such a brilliant cause, we can't wait!"

Anyone who wants to join in the annual celebration which now sees countries all over the world toasting the Black Stuff at 17.59 on 22nd September to the great Arthur Guinness- can get tickets from this Thursday, 4th August at 9am at www.ticketmaster.ie.

Tickets are priced at just £13.50 for the Ulster Hall event and £7 for pub venues plus booking fee and all proceeds go to the Arthur Guinness fund, which helps entrepreneurs deliver change in communities all over the island of Ireland.
