Ava Brogan
Multi-instrumentalist and producer Ava Brogan has unlocked the portal to hyper-folk and pagan-pop, with her signature guttural bass, hypnotic harping, and glimmering vocals. Flooding the senses with shimmering playfulness, her music holds the spirit of ancient Ireland and modern camp culture. Be careful or this bimbo pagan princess will lure you into the fairy realm with her eccentric avant-pop sound and mystifying energy.
J SHIELDS
J SHIELDS is an experimental electronic producer and vocalist from Belfast. J creates big bassy tunes with found sounds and sparkly synths. This together with poignant lyricism and climactic operatic vocals makes for a truly otherworldly experience - be it immersive and atmospheric or dance bangers.
THOM
THOM is a Belfast-based DJ and co-founder of underground queer club night Mince. Known for his groove-led approach behind the decks, he blends deep grooves with uplifting energy, creating sets built around connection and movement. For the Fleadh, he’ll be serving up a vibrant mix of sun-soaked sounds and infectious rhythms, bringing a little dancefloor energy to the streets.
