Emerge, Ireland's biggest electronic music festival, returns to Boucher Road Playing Fields, Belfast on the August Bank Holiday weekend in 2023, following a sell-out event last year.

Bicep, Carl Cox, Camelphat and Charlotte De Witte will be joined by a line-up of international and local acts including Skin On Skin, Alan Fitzpatrick, Rebuke and Irish act blk. who will be making his Emerge stage debut next year.

A full line-up of over 50 acts across four stages and two days will be announced in the coming months, and the strong focus on sound, AV and lighting in 2022 will be built upon to create a world class audience experience.

Festival Director Alan Simms of Shine commented: "This year’s line-up is the culmination of almost 30 years work at both club level and building on our other outdoor events in the city.

"Bicep played some of their first live shows at our events, so seeing them headline a show of this size in Belfast, as their career continues to explode Internationally, is a genuine pleasure for me.

"Likewise, I’ve been working with Carl Cox for over 25 years, and he’s a perfect addition to this event. Emerge Music Festival’s opening year was everything I had hoped for, and I look forward to building on that success for our second year with more acts, even bigger production, and a genuinely first-class customer experience."
