Staff WriterA host of Irish talent will take control of the Boiler Room for its Irish festival debut.
Higher Vision returns to Navan Racecourse for its 3rd year. Hosting 6 stages with an array of international and local talent, Higher Vision will follow up last year with another stacked lineup along with an even further push into larger and more impressive production overall. 5 of the 6 stages will be hosted by Dave Clarke, Boiler Room, Solardo, Cocoon and Hijinks along with Higher Visions own Main Stage. The collaboration with artists for stages adds a unique take to each stage. We can’t wait to see everything in action this Saturday, but our one to not miss out on will be the Boiler Room Irish Festival debut.
KETTAMA
One of Ireland’s fastest rising talents in recent years there is no shortage of quality music to get you in the mood for KETTAMA’s return to Higher Vision this year.
After an outstanding set at Boxed Off last year and a show from Life Festival that won’t be forgotten, KETTAMA’s distinct sound is sought after time and time again as his forever hard-hitting house continues to evolve and intrigue audiences all over Europe. The Galway native recently released his second EP on top English label Shall Not Fade. A collection of tracks that was long awaited for, delivered exactly was expected and proved yet again that KETTAMA is the next big thing in music.
He closes out the Boiler Room stage this year and will undoubtedly deliver a set fans won’t want to miss.

Tommy Holohan
Increasingly becoming a prominent figure in the European techno scene, Tommy Holohan has a recognizable style and mannerisms that points him in the direction of an iconic future. Owning and releasing on his own label Rave Selekts has brought us the old school rave inspired track ‘Subaru Imprezza’, an energetic piece that has become a staple track for Ireland’s booming electronic music scene. Tommy has had a superb string of releases as of late including music on Dax J’s label Monnom Black and London based label Civil Disobedience. This is one that shouldn’t be missed.

Cailín
The local Waterford woman has been making quite a name for herself in the past few months. Growing as a long time Subject resident, Cailín has supported multiple international DJs making her talents go further than just the average techno DJ.
Cailín also holds success in producing music too. Sometimes unnoticed and underrated, her productions compliment her DJing in more ways than one. A recent release on local label wherethetimegoes shows us exactly what she has to offer. Cailín sets the pace just before Tommy Holohan which is no doubt going to be a fast one.
