The Emerge Music Festival returns to Belfast's Boucher Road Playing Fields on the August Bank Holiday Weekend. Following the success of last year's festival, this year "promises to be bigger, better, and bolder," according to a press release.

Headliners for this year's festival include BICEP, Carl Cox, Camelphat, and Charlotte De Witte. They are joined by Skin On Skin, Alan Fitzpatrick, Rebuke, Ewan McVicar, Floorplan, and other international and local acts.

In the coming months, the full lineup for the two-day festival will be revealed. To improve on last year's festival experience, the four stages will receive an upgrade to their sound, AV, and lighting systems. As a result, visitors should have a truly world-class audience experience.

Festival Director, Alan Simms, of Shine commented: “This years line-up is the culmination of almost 30 years work at both club level, and building on our other outdoor events in the city.“

Since Bicep is a well-known festival act who has already performed several times, Simms added: "Bicep played some of their first live shows at our events, so seeing them headline a show of this size in Belfast, as their career continues to explode Internationally, is a genuine pleasure for me.“

"Emerge Music Festival’s opening year was everything I had hoped for, and I look forward to building on that success for our second year with more acts, even bigger production and a genuinely first class customer experience.”
