Incredible acts
Irish DJ and producer Saoirse will be headlining the MainStage. And, back by popular demand, Irish electronic artist Elaine Mai is teaming up again with MayKay and guests for a thrilling performance.
Mother DJs including Ruth Kavanagh and Ghosboy & Rocky T Delgado will pump out the music for an all-night dance party to remember, alongside guests Kelly-Anne Byrne and Puzzy Wrangler. And you won’t want to miss out on the chance to see HAUS of W.I.G’s drag-centric cabaret show.
If you want to get your toes tapping in a more traditional sense, hot-foot it over to the Géilí (queer céilí), hosted by podcast host PJ Kirby with help from quick-stepping drag superstars, River Drag.
Want to share a yarn or two? Let us introduce you to Louise McSharry who, alongside guests, will host a conversation surrounding club culture.
