AVA have revealed their full lineup for the tenth rendition of the electronic music festival. Ross From Friends and DJ Seinfeld join the likes of Flowdan, horsegiirL and Nia Archives.
Over its decade-long lifespan, AVA has become a pillar for Irish electronic culture. Always having some eyebrow-raising acts and cult favourites is a signature of the festival and this year maintains that tradition.
Once again mixing Irish musical pedigree with sounds from overseas, 1 May sees BICEP make a pitstop home. How can you have AVA without BICEP? One of the greatest Irish exports in the electronic world, with music that was made to headline. Nia Archives is also landing in Belfast, coming off the back of the year of her career as well as a debut album drop. Just added to the listings today, DJ Seinfeld makes a welcome return back to Ireland alongside plenty of native talent such as Shampain, SLOUCHO and Robbie Kitt.
Onto the Saturday, Barry Can’t Swim is jumping out of the lineup at us. Look closer and you’ll see a B2B with DJ Boring and Salute, do not sleep on that one. More local talent claims the main stage with a set from Belfast’s Holly Lester and Caoimhe. Flowdan touched down in Dublin with The Bug a few months ago. This time he’s with Neffa T and if you’re any bit familiar with the duo, you know how intense this one will be.
Taking place at Belfast’s Titanic Museum, AVA 10 will host the free ‘AVA Conference’ which will host David Holmes, Bitter Babe, Emby and more as they dive into music, culture and nightlife liberation. Register for tickets here. After parties with names from the festival will also be sprawled across the city.
AVA takes place from 31 May – 01 June with one of the most eclectic lineups you’ll see from a festival in Ireland. Grab tickets to AVA festival here.
