Shine’s Alan Simms, Festival Director, commented: “It was an incredible weekend. We invested heavily in raising the standard for sound, lighting and visuals, and both the acts & attendees loved it. I’ve been promoting electronic music in Belfast for almost 30 years, this feels like the culmination of that work – we have produced something genuinely different from what’s been done before in Ireland. We’re looking forward to growing this in 2023 and beyond.”
