Galway's own Fionn Curran delivered an intense, electric set at Longitude's Heineken Stage this afternoon. The DJ supplied some energetic crowd-pleasers for a crowd clearly fuelled on techno and bass-heavy sounds.

Playing a packed-out gig in the festival tent, the performance was one not to be missed, as Curran spun his DJ magic again with club remixes of some pop classics.

Curran is one of Ireland's fastest rising DJs and producers on the circuit, and is certainly no stranger to the club Irish scene. Having played sold out shows in almost every county in Ireland over the last few months, as well as international headline club and festival shows across Europe, 2023 is something of a banner year for Curran. The Galway DJ is on an unstoppable path to stardom.

The DJ was initially hard to find on the large stage by simultaneous fog, red lights, and glowing screens accompanying Curran's dramatic early entrance. Instantly launching into his familiar loud bass-laden beats, Curran was quick to turn the Heineken stage to a makeshift club, his commanding stage presence leading an army of fist bumps.

Launching into familiar territory for amateur club fans, the DJ played Avicii's iconic 'I Could Be the One', adding some signature Curran flair, before launching into a unique interpretation of the ever-iconic 'Darude Sandstorm'. Flashes of the crowd on the large stage screens proved the classics went down a treat.

Similarly, a remix from the Galwegian disc jockey of Rihanna's 'Love the Way You Lie' receives the elated response it deserves, followed shortly up with brilliantly chaotic stabs at MGMT's 'Kids', and Alphaville's 'Forever Young'. Truly some certified club classics.

After removing his shirt halfway through the set, the DJ continued to deliver non-stop energy for the two hour performance, clearly loving every minute of appreciation from the crowd. Curran has the unflailing optimism and magnetism of a person who’s a little too modest to be a popstar, taking cues from bass music past and present, from jungle to garage and beyond.

Curran delivered some electric energy, and succeeded in giving Longitude listeners the energy to enjoy the stellar evening lineup coming up.
