Last updated 30th Aug 2022
A sell-out crowd of 40,000 electronic music fans attended the inaugural EMERGE Music Festival at Belfast’s Boucher Playing Fields on Saturday & Sunday.
Fans enjoyed sets from international superstars such as Eric Prydz, Patrick Topping, Disclosure, Peggy Gou and many others.
Over 50 acts performed across 4 stages, including a huge contingent of local & upcoming artists.
Shine’s Alan Simms, Festival Director, commented: “It was an incredible weekend. We invested heavily in raising the standard for sound, lighting and visuals, and both the acts & attendees loved it. I’ve been promoting electronic music in Belfast for almost 30 years, this feels like the culmination of that work - we have produced something genuinely different from what’s been done before in Ireland. We’re looking forward to growing this in 2023 and beyond.”
Cool FM's Evanna Maxted took to the crowd to find some of this summer's hottest festival essentials 👇
