About

The MOIRO (Music of Irish Origin) stage, presented by Smashing Buttons, is the space where trad and contemporary artists will unite for a two-day genre-bending session. Expect explosive blends of Trad, Rock, Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul, Techno, Punk and the Blues, as Northern Ireland's musical heritage is celebrated through the local sounds and influences of the last 80+ years.

The Trad Folkin' Rocks crew will guide you through sessions with the very best of Northern Ireland's new generation of talent. Saturday the 8th will bring more must-see performances from Irish hip-hop artists Evo, Becky McNeice, local funk legend Noble Johnson, Ed Sheeran's pop protégé Antwan Ruiz, plus many more appearing across the weekend.

The stage will be brought to a riotous close with rapidly rising young super-band :Panic :Over. Selected by the BPI to represent Northern Ireland at the World EXPO in Osaka, Japan, :Panic :Over are poised to be the next major act to emerge from this tiny part of the island onto the global stage.
