If you’re over 30, you’ll no doubt have heard about the daytime clubbing sensation, The 30+ Club, that has swept the country selling over 20,000 tickets in UK & Ireland already.

Due to the phenomenal demand for extra shows and tickets, the organisers have teamed up with CHSq to offer a scaled-up Summer show in one of Belfast’s most beloved outdoor concert venues.

While the lineup is being kept under wraps for now, it’s been billed as an outdoor extravaganza of entertainment for the over 30s.

On top of the usual 30+ Club offering there will be live bands, special guest DJs, unrivalled stage production and loads more interactive fun and surprises on the night. If you’re a fan of musical nostalgia from the 80s to 00s, you will not be disappointed.

It's time to book a babysitter, grab your friends, pick your outfits (optional fancy dress theme is neon disco) and prepare for a unique festival experience to remember, with the satisfaction of having a Monday off!
