Step into the circuits of the new frontier as Otherside Music & Arts Festival returns to Rock Farm, Ireland, on March 16th, 2025. Melding unwavering energy and a labyrinth of genre-bending sound, this year’s edition sets its sights on the vanguard of modern techno, electro, and left-of-centre dance floor pressure. The lineup draws together a nexus of international and local talent, anchored by the raw intensity of Blasha & Allatt and the visceral dynamism of Clouds.

Irish rave energy pulses through Gaskin and homegrown riser Prozak (IRL), while Silva Bumpa brings his distinctive, forward-thinking approach to groove-laden club music. Making their mark on the bill, Funk Assault deliver unfussy, peak-time stompers, and DJ Heartstring’s euphoric, trance-infused selections promise a heady rush. Sonic exploration continues with MALUGI’s playful mutations of house and breaks, Max Dean’s propulsive rhythms, and the deep, narrative-driven sets of Paige Tomlinson.

Across immersive stage designs and windswept rural landscapes, Otherside fuses electronic music with a visual arts programme aimed at amplifying the senses. Expect to transcend boundaries between artist and audience, set and scene—a convergence for dance floor devotees and the just-curious alike. As the night unfolds under the spectral sky, prepare for a gathering that stakes new ground in the Irish festival season.
