AVA FESTIVAL 2026, BELFAST
It’s official, AVA Festival is setting up shop again at the Titanic Slipways in Belfast. Lock in May 29th and 30th, 2026. After twelve years, it's a staple of the city’s calendar.
The lineup is already looking serious. Irish rap group KNEECAP and house producer KETTAMA are front and center, but the list goes deep. You’ve got industry heavyweights like Annie Mac and Honey Dijon, alongside techno veterans like Blawan and Calibre. They're also bringing in high-energy acts like Partiboi69, DJ Gigola, and the back-to-back set from Octo Octa and Eris Drew. It’s a solid mix of big international names and a heavy dose of Irish talent, which is exactly what AVA does best.
Forget the usual festival fluff. The vibe at AVA is straightforward: a raw, industrial setting and a focus on the music. It’s known for its Boiler Room-style energy and impressive audio-visuals that match the intensity of the sets. It's an experience built for people who are actually there for the music.
Tickets are already on sale. If you know the scene, you know this isn't one to miss. It's two days of straight-up quality electronic music. End of story.
