The festival brings together two of Ireland's best collectives for a live 4 hour improvised hardware jam with various electronic music artists at the Mandela Hall in Belfast on 2026-10-10 at 19:00, with prices from £20.00.
On October 10th, Hardware and Plain Sailing come together for a one-off gathering inside Mandela Hall.
For four hours, Barker, Brawni, Chaz Moloney and Kessler will meet in the centre of the room for a fully improvised live hardware session, with the crowd surrounding the artists in a 360-degree performance space.
No pre-written sets. No changeovers. One continuous live exchange built in the room.
Visuals will come from Nightstaff and Reuben Brown, with more still to be announced, presented in association with Catalyst Arts.
This will be the only Hardware event of 2026, and our first time bringing the format to Belfast. Mandela Hall feels like the right place to make it happen.
