The AVA Festival is a Belfast-based recurring event for the audio and visual arts, founded in 2015.

[2][3][4] While the inaugural event was in Belfast in 2015, the festival has also been held in Mumbai, Amsterdam, Glasgow and London.

[2][3][5][6] The event typically has performances from electronic dance music acts, which include both local "homegrown" and more internationally recognised musicians.

Artists that have played at AVA include Holly Lester, Larry Heard, LSDXOXO, Orbital, and Bicep.

[3] AVA has been described in the music press as "one of the world's most exciting electronic festivals", and has been credited as creating a "second age of rave" in Northern Ireland.
