Live Collision International Festival 2025

In an era where art is increasingly called upon to do more—to provoke, to disrupt, to reimagine—Live Collision stands at the vanguard of Ireland’s Live Art scene. Since its inception in 2009, the festival has meticulously carved out a space where performance transcends medium and convention, unfolding in real time, shaped by the urgency of the moment and the interplay between artist and audience.

Curated by Lynnette Moran, Live Collision is more than a festival; it is an evolving conversation, a site of exchange where the personal and political collide. Here, race, gender, class, disability, and sustainability are not abstract themes but lived realities, explored through work that is as intellectually rigorous as it is viscerally affecting. The festival’s name—evoking the Hadron Collider—feels apt: this is a place of artistic acceleration, where ideas crash together, new possibilities emerge, and performance becomes an agent of transformation.

Live Collision reverberates with possibility, reminding us that liveness is not just an artistic choice, but a state of being, dynamic, urgent and profoundly human.

For three electrifying nights at Live Collision International Festival, Foxgluv takes the reins, curating a DJ set that transforms the space into a pulse-driven haven for underrepresented creatives. More than just a party, Foxgluv is a platform—a space built to engage, inspire, and amplify voices too often left in the margins. Set begins at 9pm each night and we invite audience members to join us in the bar.
