A world-class event – Belfast’s thriving electronic music scene
Co-promoter and director Alan Simms spoke on the two-day music festival coming to Belfast this summer. He said, “Belfast is one of the most fertile and dynamic scenes of its kind in the UK or Ireland.
“The electronic music scene is one that has grown steadily in Belfast over the 30-odd years that I’ve been promoting in the city with my Shine brand. It’s grown exponentially over the last few years.
“We’ve promoted many large scale outdoor electronic events in recent years. But, we’ve always wanted to do a huge multi-stage event of this kind.”
He continued, “Feedback from our audience suggested that a huge appetite exists for a unique production of this kind in Northern Ireland.
“We’re lucky to have some of the world’s biggest names in dance music on our inaugural line-up of EMERGE Music Festival, most of whom we’ve been working with since their very first club shows in the country.”
