If you haven’t yet had the chance to experience this festival, let me introduce you to what could easily become your next favorite event.

The sixth installment of the Audio Garden Music Festival is slated for August 2024, and the excitement is palpable. Hosted at the stunning Burtown House & Gardens and The Green Barn in Athy, Kildare, the festival offers a serene yet electrifying backdrop for a weekend of musical immersion. With lush greenery, open spaces, and scenic landscapes, this year’s venue promises the perfect escape for music lovers.

The Audio Garden Music Festival is not just about the music — it’s about the overall experience. The organizers go above and beyond to create an immersive environment with impressive stage designs, mesmerizing light shows, and cutting-edge sound systems. Every element enhances the festival atmosphere, making it unforgettable.


A standout feature is the festival’s strong sense of community. Festival-goers from various backgrounds unite through their love for electronic music, creating a place to connect, share passions, and create lasting memories.


The festival offers a range of activities beyond the music. Attendees can participate in workshops, explore art installations, and engage in creative experiences. Yoga sessions, visual art displays, and interactive activities provide a well-rounded experience that stimulates both the body and mind.


Despite the plethora of events happening, the Audio Garden Festival stands out as the coolest thing still within that sweet spot between being completely underground and professionally run. It embodies a vibe of “we know what we are doing, and we don’t crave your approval. But if you are sound, feel free to chill and party with us.”


Often described as the festival organized by DJs for DJs, it’s where the creators of the scene go to unwind and enjoy themselves. It seems to hit the perfect sweet spot on Harry’s PH balance test (that’s PARTY spelled with a PH). With a wide range of music appealing to true electronic music lovers, Audio Garden promises an authentic and exhilarating experience.


When talking about the Audio Garden Music Festival, one name keeps coming up in conversation: Declan, also known as DJ Kalizer. Declan is a well-known PsyTrance DJ who has played all around the world and organized many parties across Ireland, including Dublin. Declan appears to be one of the main people driving this festival, and his influence is felt throughout the event. From curating the lineup to ensuring everything runs smoothly, his efforts are integral to the festival’s success.

Of course, there’s a whole team behind this amazing festival, and no disrespect is intended towards anyone else who is working tirelessly to make it happen. But if Declan is out there reading this, I’d love for him to reach out and share more about himself and the festival. I’m sure he has countless interesting stories and insights to offer. I’m also eager to talk to other movers, shakers, gears, and cogs keeping Ireland’s music scene alive.


As someone who has yet to attend the Audio Garden Music Festival, I’m eagerly anticipating the chance to experience it firsthand. The buzz around this event is undeniable, and I look forward to writing a follow-up article detailing my adventures and the unique moments that make this festival so special.


For now, I can only share the excitement and anticipation that surrounds the Audio Garden Music Festival. It’s more than just a music festival — it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and the profound connection that music fosters. So mark your calendars for August 2024 and prepare to be part of something truly extraordinary.


Stay tuned for more updates, and I hope to see you there!
