Belfast Vital
Belfast Vital (formerly Tennent's Vital) is an annual music festival in Northern Ireland. It was first held near Botanic Gardens in 2002 then later moved to Ormeau Park in 2007, both of these venues were in Belfast. The festival had taken a noticeable undesired hiatus between 2008–2010 and returned in August 2011 at Ward Park in Bangor due to success of Ward Park as a venue for Snow Patrol's homecoming gig in 2010 which drew in an estimate crowd of 40,000. Sponsored by C&C Group plc and MCD Productions it was confirmed that the festival was set to return both in 2012 and 2013. In March 2017, it was announced via Facebook that the festival would return, with a new lineup, and under a new name as simply Belfast Vital or Vital. It is not yet clear if this was due to a withdrawal in sponsorship from Tennents although there was nothing to suggest this and it was likely just a minor rebrand. The Belfast Vital continued to be held annually until at least 2025.
Notable headliners throughout the years have included Green Day, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Kaiser Chiefs, Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, The White Stripes, Ash, The Streets, Primal Scream, Eminem and Sam Fender.
Continuing under the name of Belfast Vital, Foo Fighters were announced to return to Belfast after a successful show at Vital 2012. They performed at Boucher Road Playing Fields on Monday, 19 August along with support acts Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Hot Milk and King Nun.
Continuing under the new name of Belfast Vital, Martin Garrix was announced to return to Belfast after a successful show in Belsonic 2017. He will play at Boucher Road Playing Fields on Saturday, 25 August along with supporting acts Steve Angello, Zara Larsson and others.
Under a different name of Belfast Vital, MCD Productions announced in March that Muse and Biffy Clyro would be headlining Day One of the festivals on Wednesday 23 August. Shortly after in April, it was announced Tiësto and Clean Bandit would be headlining Day Two of the festival on Saturday 26 August. This would be the second time Tiësto would headline a show in Belfast after Belsonic 2016 the year before at Titanic Belfast.
In March 2016, MCD productions announced Tennent's Vital will return to Boucher Road Playing Fields with the headlining acts of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Avicii on Thursday 25 August and Friday 26 August. This would be the second time Avicii has headlined Tennent's Vital and was also his last weekend of shows before retiring from touring.
In early 2015, it was announced that Tennent's Vital would be back for another year at the Boucher Road playing fields with Calvin Harris headlining Day 1 and The Script returning to headline Day 2. This is the second time The Script have headlined the event following a headlining set on Day 2 in 2011.
On 21 March 2014, Tennents Vital released an official statement confirming the festival would return in summer 2014. On 25 March, organisers confirmed via their official website, Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat that The Killers would headline the first day of the festival supported by Bastille. This will be The Killer's second time headlining the event following a headlining set in 2007, while Bastille are making their Tennents Vital debut this year.
