EMERGE celebrates BIGGEST year yet with over 70,000 dance music fans

Now in its third year, Ireland’s largest electronic music festival, Emerge, is celebrating its biggest year yet, with over 70,000 people attending at Boucher Road Fields over the August bank holiday weekend.

With 80 acts performing across 4 stages, world leading production, and some of the biggest global names in electronic music, Emerge Music Festival has cemented itself as the leading electronic event on the Island of Ireland.

Joe Dougan from Emerge Music Festival commented:

"Emerge Music Festival levelled up yet again in 2024; it’s 3rd edition. The attendance, performances, and production were all world-class, and we’re very proud of where this event has gotten to.

"We’ll be back in August 2025 and are already planning how to make it bigger and better."
