AVA Festival is happening on September 24th and 25th in Belfast’s Boucher Fields and the fully-outdoor festival will be many attendees first big hooley in nearly two years.
The electronic and dance festival has announced the day by day breakdown for the weekend and AVA Founder and Director Sarah McBriar’s words of what is to come has us excited for what’s coming, which includes a new programme of live alternative acts, all outdoor events, closing parties featuring Optimo and the return of Boiler Room too.
“I think people will be blown away by our new site design, our programme of DJs & live acts, our 360 degree sound systems, AV shows and other experiences across the festival site. We are working with the best in the business, and have used the time between our last event and now to really invest in the design, production & experience and we can’t wait to show everyone!”
