C2C: Country to Country brought its country music extravaganza to Belfast in 2024, finding a new home at the SSE Arena after a successful run in Dublin. This expansion was a testament to the strong and passionate country music fan base in Northern Ireland. The festival brings a curated lineup of major artists from Nashville and beyond, offering a mix of established superstars and exciting up-and-coming acts.

With the SSE Arena having a capacity of up to 11,000, the festival draws a significant number of dedicated fans, who embrace the country-western spirit with their attire and enthusiasm. The atmosphere is consistently described as a vibrant celebration of the genre, with fans from different generations gathering to sing along to every song.

Beyond the main arena shows, C2C Belfast, like its London and Glasgow counterparts, also features smaller, free pop-up stages and events, creating a more intimate and communal feel. This unique blend of arena-sized concerts and more personal, songwriter-round style performances makes C2C Belfast a key annual event for country music lovers, solidifying its place as a crucial part of the C2C festival circuit.
