Nigel Campbell creator and promoter of the Farmers Bash said: “We’ve listened to our audience, and after a hugely successful few years, including a rapid sell out success at Belsonic in 2024, we’ve made the decision to go big! Boucher Fields is the biggest concert site in Northern Ireland, and has hosted some incredible international acts. We’re delighted to be bringing The Farmer’s Bash Weekender there for the first time, and can’t wait to show the fans the scale and ambition of this new annual event!”

Alan Simms, event co-promoter from Belsonic/Shine commented: “Nigel and his team have done incredible work with The Farmer’s Bash, and we’re looking forward to continuing to work with him to scale up this incredible event. Our plans for 2025 are far in exception of 2024’s Belsonic event, and it’s helpful having the additional space at this venue to work with and ensure the highest level of customer experience.”
