Your mans music on Friday night freaked me out da fuk but ya can't beat the craic of a Belfast crowd!! #sliders
What an impressive 'ROYAL' Line-Up for the AVA Conference! A staggeringly eclectic mix of talent were docked in a large, harbour room in T13, overlooking Belfast's iconic crane landmarks: Samson & Goliath. The perfect welcome for Electronic Music's very own, Samson & Goliath: Dave Haslam, author & legendary, former Hacienda DJ; Mark Lawrence, CEO of the Association of Electronic Music…..Their hour-long, Opening Keynote, 'LIFE AFTER DARK,' explored the 'creative, cultural & economic value of club culture'……It was a voyage of discovery for the rapt audience throughout, very clearly mapped by these Captains in their Industry. Fascinating! Fun! Flagship start to the day, heralding the fair wind behind AVA 2……Forever grateful to GENERATOR N.I. for making it possible to share this rich cargoe with the inhabitants of our wee Port- along with visitors from Southern Ireland, England,Scotland, Germany, America & Australia. Can we have some please? This must be ANCHORED!
We had the best weekend with the best acts & atmoshpere, in the best City in the world
The work that goes into make this happen is unreal and I know first hand being involved to make it happen and people complain about having to buy a bottle of water . Get over yourself.
The vibe at this festival was one of the best I've ever experienced. Everyone was so warm and friendly. It was like a house party with a killer lineup and thousands of your closest friends. Definitely can't wait for next year!!
The best event I've ever been to!
Surprised anyone made it out of there alive the amount of Bombs being let off. Great venue & set up in general.. boiler room was abit of a joke though for getting in & out. Hell'a fun day nonetheless! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Sarah and crew delivered the goods yet again. Amazing crowd, atmosphere and artists. Roll on AVA 2018!
One of the best weekends so far this year! The festival is exactly what's needed for our we country, brilliant atmosphere, unbelievable talent and the back drop of H&W behind the boiler room was something else� roll on AVA 2018���
Incredible from start to finish. Hard to beat an atmosphere like it, T13 is such a dirt wee venue, and that's such a good thing. Make this a monthly thing 😝
Has to be one of the best nights I've every had out unbelievable didn't want it to end can't stop talking about it wish it was on every week
Do a winter event!! I don't want to wait another 12 months! Completely epic day/night
Brilliant festival all round - music and crowd were quality. More seating around the outside tents would have been good as people were sitting on the wet ground.
Best day / night out that Northern Ireland has to offer for anyone that is a fan of the electronic music scene.
Amazing festival in a great location. Line up is always unreal and the vibe is out of this world
Absolutely mind-boggled by the production, sound, crowd & everything in-between. Viva la AVA!!!
