2019's summer of live music has just exploded as one of the world's leading electronic DJs and producers has announced he is coming to play Northern Ireland.

Marshmello, armed with his iconic white marshmallow helmet, will headline on Wednesday June 26th at Ormeau Park, Belfast as part of the Belsonic festival.

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am from all usual Ticketmaster outlets & online here

The countdown is on to an epic month of live music as Marshmello joins Stormzy, Ben Nicky, George Ezra, Hozier, Tiesto and more on the stellar Ormeau Park line-up.

Marshmello has worked with some of the biggest dance music heavyweights on the planet including Skrillex and Diplo, Justin Bieber, Avicii, Zedd and Ariana Grande.

Last year, Marshmello dropped the surprise collaboration with the British band Bastille, 'Happier', and released the VERY emotional music video to accompany their popular song.

The music video follows a young girl who gets a puppy for her birthday, over the years the girl and her pet are inseparable creating a strong bond, but then, as time passes, the - now much older - dog, has to be rushed to the vets.

The music video stars iCarly's Miranda Cosgrove as the teenage girl with braces, who finds herself the last to be picked in the football team at school. Despite having the worst day at school her trusty friend is there for her when she returns home

Marshmello previously revealed how he felt after receiving the lyrics from Bastille saying, 'When I was sent Happier for the first time, I was taken back. The amount of emotion that you could feel in the lyrics was crazy.'

He continued, 'As I listened to the song more and more, it reminded me of so many things I’ve been through in my life.'

'Happier' is the second collaboration this year from the American DJ Marshmello, who previously teamed up with Anne-Marie on the anti-Valentine's anthem, 'FRIENDS'.

His YouTube channel is now the 50th largest on the planet—behind Bruno Mars and ahead of Maroon 5—averaging 250 million views and 1.4 million new subscribers every month.

Marshmello released his debut studio album Joytime, consisting of 10 songs, via his label Joytime Collective on January 8, 2016. Marshmello is currently working on ‘Joytime III’ which will be released later in 2019.
