Paolo Nutini at Belsonic: an essential guide to Saturday's Ormeau Park show

SCOTTISH music star Paolo Nutini is currently in Ireland and strumming his way towards a date with Belsonic in Belfast on Saturday night.

The Paisley-born singer/songwriter played a huge show at Cork's Musgrave Park on Wednesday night, with a gig at Malahide Castle in Dublin lined-up for this evening. Both dates are sold out, as is his Belsonic show at Ormeau Park. Support at all the Irish dates comes from Julia Jacklin and New Dad.

Assuming you are lucky enough to already have tickets for the Belsonic concert, here's everything else you need to know about the event.
