Poulaphouca House, Hollywood, Co Wicklow Sat/ Sun 1pm 90 0818-719300 mystikfest.com
One of the last big hurrahs of the festival season, Mystik certainly packs a lot of bang for its buck. Located in a lovely part of the Garden County within a bus trip of the capital, there’s a strong line-up awaiting techno, electro and house fiends who decide to camp out for the weekend.
DJs and acts playing the festival’s four stages include Norn Iron techno’s leader of the pack Fergie (below), Hamburg duo Kaiserdisco, Dave Seaman, Italian Drumcode rep Joseph Capriati, Psycatron, Mr Spring, Dashka, Sunil Sharpe, Fran Hartnett, Filterheadz, Ridgewalkers and dozens and dozens of local spinners. One of the stages for the weekend will be hosted by Mongo, the popular Dublin daytime bash and bank holiday weekend party specialist bringing its vibes to Co Wicklow for a secret garden party.
