Sarah McBriar, Founder, AVA Festival said: "AVA started for us seven years ago on the docks, so returning to our home turf with an Act who has been there with us from the beginning, and who is now one of the biggest Electronic Acts in the world will be a momentous moment and one we are confident will follow what a special occasion September 2021 was.

"Our 2022 edition of AVA will be a homecoming for all of us, and we can’t wait!"
