Noise during outdoor music festivals

The organisers of these events have put measures in place to manage noise. But depending on weather conditions, you might hear some noise if you live in Belfast. Music will usually finish at 11pm.

If you’re disturbed by noise, you can contact our night-time noise team by calling 028 9037 3006. Read information on reporting a noise problem.
