Planetlove is organised by Lisburn based company Planetlove Music. For two years running, it’s won an award for making the Biggest Contribution to Dance Music in Ireland.

The world’s biggest and most celebrated artistes have all graced the eclectic Planetlove stages over the years, including Tiesto, Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Eddie Halliwell, Mauro Picotto, Judge Jules, Christopher Lawrence, Steve Lawler, John Digweed, Lisa Lashes, Fergie, Yoji Biomehanika, Happy Mondays DJs, DJ Sneak, DJ Luna, and DJ Paul Van Dyk.

That’s not counting bands like Faithless, Scooter, Chicane and N Trance, and a variety of electronic genres including trance, house, techno, hard dance, hip hop, breaks and psy trance.

A commitment to local DJs as well as local up and coming talent is part of the blueprint for the festival. A diverse range of DJs and acts have charged up the electrical Rendezvous arena - among them Charley Lownoise, Dye Witness, Ultimate Buzz, Slipmatt, Hixxy, Sharkey, Force and Styles, Scott Brown among many others, and of course regular Northern Irish favourites like Tizer, Sci, Binman and Xray.

Rendezvous - the sister brand of Planetlove which caters for old skool, happy hardcore and in recent times nu skool progressive hardcore is a firm and popular feature of the Planetlove festival since the event's inception.

“Planetlove is about enjoying clubbing and dance music at its most musically indulgent,” says co-promoter Judith Farrell-Rowan.

“It's about filling up your senses with the smell of grass and big canvasses, hearing your favourite tunes on a soul shaking sound system, it's about seeing your all time favourite DJs - or fifty of them - right in front of your eyes; it's about the taste of a cool beer in the warm sunshine, and all of this together with the feel good factor of those blissful big hugs from good friends and new friends because that one day a year that you're waiting on has finally arrived!”
