Reception returns for its second edition of Reception Weekend festival on February 14th & 15th at The Project Art Centre and Tengu.

The weekender focuses on experimental music and performance and celebrates nine years of activity with their 2025 programme, which “focuses on artists who explore temporality in unique ways & ranges  from durational minimal compositions to ecstatic club music to free improvisation and outsider pop.”

The weekender features four events, featuring DJs including Kate Butler and Don  Rosco, Irish artists and musicians Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh, Susan Geaney, Dunk Murphy & Aonghus McEvoy alongside minimalist  composer Eliane Radigue (performed by acclaimed instrumentalists Rhodri Davies, Angharad Davies  & Dominic Lash), Chicago footwork innovator RP Boo, New York experimentalists Jack Callahan & Jeff  Wittscher, celebrated Japanese composer and sculptor Ryoko Akama and Spanish guitarist & composer  Clara de Asis. 

Susan Geaney will present a new world premiere commissioned by Reception. The festival will also  see the first Irish performance by RP Boo and the Irish premiere of Eliane Radigue’s Occam Ocean.
