AVA Festival 2019 returns to S13 Warehouse in Belfast, setting the stage for another unmissable edition in Ireland’s thriving electronic music scene. Known for its commitment to cutting-edge sounds and forward-thinking curation, AVA brings together a formidable lineup featuring global pioneers and homegrown talent pushing the boundaries of techno, house, and rave culture. Anchoring the weekend are acts who continually redefine the club landscape, with Avalon Emerson and Len Faki promising powerful journeys across techno’s expansive spectrum.
