THE Emerge Music Festival in Belfast has added more names from the world of dance and electronic music to its August bank holiday weekend line-up. 

Headliners Bicep [live], Carl Cox, Camelphat and Charlotte De Witte will be joined by Skin on Skin, Alan Fitzpatrick, Rebuke, Ewan McVicar, Denis Sulta, Floorplan, Mella Dee, Mark Blair, Fionn Curran and blk at the event on August 25 and 26 at Boucher Road Playing Fields.

A full line-up of over 50 acts across four stages will be announced in the coming months.

Festival director Alan Simms of promoters 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.”
