CHROMA, Sonny Fodera, Hannah Laing, Jazzy, Sikoti b2b Alex Farrell “and loads more” as part of a line-up featuring over 80 acts across four stages and two days.

“Alongside local heroes BICEP Pres. CHROMA, and Sonny Fodera, fresh from selling out two nights in Dublin’s 3Arena and a lightning-fast sellout at Custom House Square - these are three of global electronic music’s biggest names.
“They join a huge lineup of local & international performers such as Marlon Hoffstadt, Horsegiirl & 2QUICK2GRUV (AKA blk.), along with stage takeovers from Manchester titans TELETECH & Hannah Laing’s DOOF brand.
