EMERGE: Everything you need to know tonight's FREE event
Last updated 17th Sep 2021
Shine & Belsonic's one-off FREE event EMERGE kicks off this evening at Ormeau Park!
Thousands of music fans from across Northern Ireland, that were lucky to get a free ticket, will hear tunes from some of the biggest names in dance music - including Alan Fitzpatrick, Eats Everything & Mella Dee.
Only those that have received at least one dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccination in Northern Ireland were eligible for a ticket.
The idea for the event was to acknowledge the impact the pandemic has had on younger people here in Northern Ireland, and is a thank you for all the sacrifices they have made in the battle against Covid.
Ahead of tonight's event, we've pieced together a helpful guide, answering some of listener's questions.
