City Hall Big Screen Tunes Into BBC Proms
The BBC's Proms in the Park event, which is taking place at Castle Park in Bangor this Saturday is going to be on show in downtown Belfast as well.
Belfast City Hall's Big Screen will show live coverage from Bangor, but there will be link ups to London's Royal Albert Hall and the world famous Last Night of the Proms as well.
With the event running from 8pm to 10.45pm, the public is expected to congregate on the front lawn of City Hall from around 7pm.
The East Lawn will have food stalls and a picnic area, so you can stuff your face while soaking in the iridescent musical occasion.
Popular soprano Lesley Garrett and Belfast-born pianist Barry Douglas will be featured on screen alongside internationally acclaimed Australian guitarist Craig Ogden, multi-talented singer/songwriter Declan O'Rourke and other well known names in classical and contemporary music.
Belfast City Council have announced they will also be screening the Ireland versus Australia Rugby World Cup game on Saturday 17 September and the Rugby World Cup Final on Sunday October 23.
Belfast is one of 21 Live Sites operating at locations across the UK. It has been erected and is run in partnership between the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), the BBC and various Live Site venues, in association with London 2012 partners BT and Lloyds TSB, supporter Cisco and the National Lottery through the Olympic Lottery Distributor.
