EMERGE MUSIC FESTIVAL- A BRAND-NEW TWO-DAY FESTIVAL LAUNCHES IN BELFAST

EMERGE Music Festival is a brand-new annual two-day multistage outdoor event presented by the teams behind long running Belfast club brand Shine and Belsonic Festival, launching for the first time this August Bank Holiday, on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th, in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Combining the cutting edge of world class international electronic artists and the wealth of fantastic new talent consistently coming out of the burgeoning Irish market, EMERGE will be the largest event of its kind in Ireland, with 20,000 capacity per day.

The first year will see over 40 acts across three stages, featuring bespoke sound, lighting and AV installations – the festival will showcase a high-quality production and immersive audience experience.

Line up is revealed below with global headliners Eric Prydz, Disclosure, Peggy Gou, Patrick Topping returning to Belfast, alongside the likes of Kettama, Mall Grab, Michael Bibi, DJ Seinfeld, Dusky, Special Request, FJAKK, Rebekah and many others.

Alan Simms, Co-Promoter and Director of EMERGE Music Festival, said: “The electronic music scene is one that has grown steadily in Belfast over the 30-odd years that I’ve been promoting in the city with my Shine brand, and it’s grown exponentially over the last few years. Belfast is one of the most fertile and dynamic scenes of its kind in the UK or Ireland. We’ve promoted many large scale outdoor electronic events in recent years but always wanted to do a huge multistage event of this kind. Feedback from our audience suggested that a huge appetite exists for a unique production of this kind in Northern Ireland. We’re lucky to have some of the world’s biggest names in dance music on our inaugural line-up of EMERGE Music Festival, most of whom we’ve been working with since their very first club shows in the country.”

EMERGE Music Festival goes on general sale on Tuesday 29th March at 9AM from ticketmaster.ie – with day tickets, weekend tickets and weekend ticket deposit plan available. Day tickets priced from £55 and weekend tickets priced from £95.
