Jeff Mills returns to Ireland after his last visit in District 8 before the popular venue was knocked down for commercial space. His famous 909 sound will blend perfectly into the Navan surroundings and will be a fitting end to the festival.
International Lineup

Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, Alan Fitzpatrick and KiNK to just name a few off the impressive lineup, will grace Higher Vision this year. Some artists hosting their own stages make for a unique aspect making each stage that little bit more different. A selection of local stars makes up the Hijinks stage and also feature amongst the Internationals throughout the various stages on the day; providing attendees with the best of both worlds.
Heatwave Weather
With strong forecasts of hot weather coming this Saturday, where else would you want to be on a sunny day? Following up from last year’s sorcher, this year will see temperatures reaching as high as 23 degrees. The sunny and clear day will only make the sunset set even better. Attendees are advised to use sunscreen and to keep hydrated throughout the day.
Independent Festival
Run by various figures in the Dublin and Irish music scene, Higher Vision still holds the trophy of being an independent festival. Commercialism is rampant in the current scene with the love for music and what makes the music community stay together being lost in some scenarios. Higher Vision has been able to keep the community spirit alive and well, truly a testament to the festival itself.
