Your Ultimate Guide to Belsonic 2021
Find out everything you need to know ahead of Gerry Cinnamon tonight 🙌
Local fans sold out Gerry Cinnamon's Belsonic gig in a matter of minutes last year. Due to phenomenal demand, the Scottish singer added another Ormeau Park date, which has limited tickets left.
Gerry's debut album Erratic Cinematic was released in September 2017, and since he's then he's played at some of the world's biggest festivals, with hits such as 'Belter' and 'Sunqueen.'
Last weekend saw international DJ Ben Nicky take to the stage, and the crowds were bouncing. We've no doubt Gerry will bring the same energy and atmosphere to the Belsonic again this weekend.
