AVA Festival

AVA Festival is an annual Belfast-based event, founded in 2015. Initially a one-day event, the Audio-Visual Arts festival has grown to take place over a weekend, at the start of each summer. It has been held at various sites in Belfast, including T13, S13 (a former B&Q warehouse), Boucher Playing Fields. Since 2022, AVA has taken place on The Titanic Slipway. The festival includes international and local acts, and artists that have played at the festival include Underworld, Bicep, Central Cee, Peggy Gou, Holly Lester, Larry Heard, LSDXOXO, Orbital, and Kerri Chandler. AVA events have also been held in Holland, Great Britain, and India, with a second weekend-long event held in London.
