Robotnik and Noise Control headline new all-dayer

The Festival of World Cultures isn’t the only place where you’ll find a globe-straddling bill this month.
Taking place in Temple Bar’s Meeting House Square on August 23, the DubArtsFest has two strands – the family-oriented Fairground Attraction, which runs from 11am till 5pm and is free, and Whirly Gig which runs from 6.30pm to 1am, costs €15 to get into and is billed as “Ireland’s first audiovisual VJ, DJ and live music spectacular.”
The latter features international deckmeisters from England, Japan and Italy including headliner DJ Cheeba of Ninja Tunes and Detectives Of Perspective fame; Asian colour sound merchants The Photosonic Orchestra; Noise Control (pictured); Robotnik; Botheads; Mandolin Man; and a still to be confirmed special guest.
