As a UNESCO City of Music, Belfast is proud to host major music festivals

Emerge Musical Festival returns to Boucher Road Playing Fields in August 2025. The festival brings some of the world’s biggest dance acts to Belfast. Following a sell-out inaugural year, it promises to be bigger, better and bolder.
