Dylan Belfast gig moves venue

Bob Dylan's Belfast gig has moved from Stormont Castle to the Odyssey Arena after funding for the Stormont site fell through.

Bob Dylan's planned gig at Belfast's Stormont Castle has been shifted to the to the city's Odyssey Arena because the gig's promoter, Jim Aiken, was unable to persuade funding body the Northern Ireland Events Company to put up the funding required to stage an event in the grounds of the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Aiken: "Stormont is a wonderful setting, but all the facilities and services have to be built on the site. I am disappointed, but the costs of infrastructure make the promotion of this event impossible without the grant."

The concert will go ahead at the Odyssey on the same date - 26 Jun.
