2.30pm: House Upbeats – DJ Ian Farrell
“I’m super excited to be part of this event, I feel so at home in the world of welllness, sober clubbing and knowing you can have an incredibly awesome time on the dance floor and maintain wellness throughout!”
Sober for 17 years Ian knows how you fire up the floor to boost your wellness.
Music has always been at the heart of Ian Farrell’s world.
Classically trained as an opera singer and pianist, his journey has taken him from concert halls to the dancefloor — with a lifelong love of club culture shaping his unmistakable sound. From the iconic clubs of 90s Manchester to London and Brighton’s vibrant scenes, Ian has lived and breathed it all.
Now behind the decks, he brings those worlds together.
Expect big vocals, high energy, unapologetic camp, and pure euphoric vibes — the kind of uplifting music that keeps you moving all day long.
From fresh, current bangers to timeless old-school anthems, every set is a celebration.
This year, Ian celebrates 17 years of sobriety — and with it, a deep rediscovery of the dancefloor. His sets channel that same sense of clarity, connection, and pure joy, proving you don’t need anything but the music to feel completely alive.
And don’t be surprised to see him dancing just as hard as the crowd — Ian doesn’t just play the party… he is the party.
Super excited to be part of this festival. As I celebrate my 17 years of sobriety this year, I feel so at home in the world of welllness and all it has to offer. I Adore the world of sober clubbing and knowing you can have an incredibly awesome time, on the dance floor, without the “aids” . It’s such a wonderfully different world to enjoy yourself, have the euphoria, but maintain wellness throughout!
