Returning home for the festival will be Derry’s OR:LA, the most successful electronic music artist to emerge from the region and now established as one of the finest selectors in the game with a packed schedule at the world’s best clubs and festivals.

Making her Celtronic debut will be Kerrie, the Irish born, Manchester based techno artist who has been wowing crowds at Berghain-Berlin, Shelter-Amsterdam, Warehouse Project with her distinct raw analog sound.
