There's just one month to go until EMERGE, Ireland’s biggest Electronic Music Festival, returns to Boucher Road Playing Fields, August Bank Holiday weekend (23-24th August) promising an unparalleled experience with their biggest and boldest festival yet!

The 2025 festival will see a stellar line-up of world leading acts perform, including Fatboy Slim, BICEP with their incredible Chroma AV DJ Set, Sonny Fodera, Hannah Laing, Jazzy, Sikoti b2b Alex Farrell and loads more!

The 2025 Emerge Festival will step up another level, offering the best audio-visual experience on the island, featuring a world leading AV production across the weekend. Boasting a line-up of more than 80 acts, across 4 stages and two days.

Joe Dougan from Emerge Music Festival commented: "Living legend Fatboy Slim tops out our 2025 lineup, alongside local heroes Bicep, and Sonny Fodera, fresh from selling out 2 nights in Dublin’s 3Arena and a lightning fast sellout at Custom House Square - these are 3 of global electronic music’s biggest names.

"They join a huge lineup of local & international performers such as Marlon Hoffstadt, Horsegiirl & 2QWIK2GRUV (AKA blk.), along with stage takeovers from Manchester titans TELETECH & Hannah Laing’s DOOF brand.

"More than 80 artists will appear across the weekend on 4 stages, with emphasis, as ever, on spectacular sound & lighting - ensuring the fan experience is genuinely world class."
