2012 festival to include Foo Fighters and The Black Keys
Tennent's Vital 2012 line-up has been announced, with Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, The Stone Roses and Florence + The Machine all set to play Belfast this August.
Northern Ireland’s most loved music festival returned in spectacular fashion in August 2011 to Ward Park in Bangor, with headliners Eminem and The Script drawing crowds of over 60,000 across two days.
After a fantastic event in Bangor in 2011, this year will see the event move back to its home in Belfast. Tennent’s Lager and promoter MCD have confirmed that Tennent’s Vital 2012 will take place on August 21-22, 2012 at the new venue of Boucher Playing Fields.
Aisling Duffy, Marketing Manager for Tennent’s Lager NI, comments: 'We think this year’s line-up not only lives up to the festival’s incredible heritage but will also genuinely amaze and excite our passionate fans. This, coupled with our fantastic new venue in Boucher Playing Fields, means that Tennent’s Vital 2012 is set to be Northern Ireland’s best ever festival experience'.
Tennent’s Vital is renowned for bringing the biggest stars in the world to Northern Ireland’s passionate music fans.
Over the years, fans have been treated to performances from Kings of Leon, Snow Patrol, White Stripes, Scissor Sisters and Franz Ferdinand. The festival was last held in Belfast in 2007, when a combined audience of over 45,000 across two days saw The Killers, Kasabian, Razorlight and Manic Street Preachers rock Ormeau Park in Belfast.
Tickets for Tennent's Vital 2012 are on sale from March 28 2012.
