Open House Festival 2011: Coors Light Breakthrough Series

The Coors Light Open House Festival is getting ready to kick off next Wednesday night in the Cathedral Quarter of Belfast. Taking place between 22nd - 26th June, the series of concerts will include performances from some fantastic acts, including Fleet Foxes, Villagers, Laura Marling and many, many more.

This year, the people behind Open House have also gathered an impressive line-up of acts for the Coors Light Breakthrough, a brand new series of gigs to showcase the very best in new and emerging music. With a particular interest in playing host to up-and-coming folk and Americana artists and bands, the festival-within-a-festival is a great addition to the events in the arts and cultured flavoured Cathedral Quarter.
