PSNI Issue Advice To Those Attending Final Belsonic Shows
As this year's Belsonic festival draws to a close with two final shows at Ormeau Park – Florence and the Machine and The Prodigy – the PSNI has reminded those attending to plan their journey in advance.
The concert organisers have applied for the closure of Ormeau Embankment from the Ormeau Road junction through to the Ravenhill Road junction closed between 4pm and approximately midnight. The road will remain closed for a period after the concert and the police have asked to keep this in mind when arranging a safe collection point with family or friends.
The police also ask if anyone is driving to this event to park their vehicle legally to ensure that it is not causing an obstruction to other road users, pedestrians or residents.
A key point the police want to emphasise is keeping your mobile phone charged. Chief Inspector Mark Roberts said: "While I appreciate many of those attending will be taking photos and videos and using social media, please ensure your mobile phone is fully charged, or you have a portable charger – especially if you need to contact friends or those collecting you at the end of the concert."
Inspector Roberts also reminded those attending the concert to be respectful of local businesses and residents, especially when leaving the concert.
"We want everyone attending the concert to have a great night, to stay safe, and remember the event for all the right reasons.
"Please act responsibly, stay with your friends and look after one another – and if you need help during the evening speak with event staff or the police."
