Belvedere House, Mullingar, Co Westmeath Today-Sun €150 0818-719300
These days, keeping a festival on track for six years is something to be celebrated. The secret of Life’s success comes down to a mixture of line-up, location and good vibes.
This year’s eye-catching coterie of talent includes Jeff Mills, who will make his first festival appearance in Ireland. Other names on the bill include Vitalic (Pascal Arbez bringing the electro disco fever), Dr Lektroluv (sweet-as modern electro), Hardfloor (thumping acid house from Oliver Bondzio and Ramon Zenke, below), John Digweed (who will turn Life inside out with with deep, dark electronic screamers), Ed Rush (tough sounds from the producer behind last year’s Book of Sight), Slam, The Orb Soundsysem, Banco di Gaia and dozens more.
The location is the beautiful Belvedere House just outside Mullingar and you can expect the good vibes to be present all weekend.
