Blueprint Festival lands at The Marcus Ward, Ireland, promising a night deeply embedded in the DNA of modern techno. This inaugural edition sets the blueprint for immersive sonic exploration and transformative energy, channelling a current that runs from warehouse floors to cutting-edge dance spaces. Headlining the affair is storied innovator Mark Broom, whose relentless productions have shaped the sound of UK techno.

Joining him, Belfast’s Phil Kieran brings his signature high-voltage sets, balancing intricate textures with driving rhythms. Slam, a duo synonymous with the Glasgow underground, return to Ireland, delivering a set sure to traverse classic and contemporary techno contours. The local vanguard stands strong: Cailín, known for razor-sharp selections, and Carlton Doom, pushing electro-tinged futurism.

CAOIMHE bridges moody atmospheres and propulsive grooves, while MEJMI and Brett Kydd round out the bill, representing the next wave of Ireland’s electronic talent. On August 26, Blueprint Festival signals a gathering point for those seeking a kinetic soundtrack in a space built for connection and intensity.
