In one way or another, we say it every year: AVA Festival just keeps levelling up.
Hands down one of the island’s very best summer festivals – and an electronic institution in Belfast – AVA returns to take over the Titanic Slipways across 30-31st May. With a new, arts-focused initiative to be announced in the coming weeks, this year’s line-up is more than enough to get us excited.
For edition number 11, organisers have brought together headliners including Underworld and Overmono, and countless big hitters, among them VTSS, KI/KI, 999999999, Job Jobse, Sally C and Tommy Holohan.
A slew of homegrown acts, from Sally C, Spray and EMA, to Sloucho, Kessler and Chalk – will also make an appearance.
In a statement, AVA Founder & Creative Director Sarah McBriat said: “AVA 2025 will be a step change for the Festival and AVA. Creativity and community have never been more important. Spaces for people to freely dance, connect and express themselves without judgement are crucial, and we plan to bring the best environment for artists and audiences alike.”
Tickets go on sale on 30th January right here.
