Formed in 2023, Huartan have created an original blend of Irish traditional music and electronica.
Through bold reinterpretations of at-risk Irish language songs, Huartan’s self-titled debut album fulfils their mission to connect contemporary audiences with the oral singing tradition and native language of Ulster. Rooted in anti-colonial and anti-capitalist ideals, their theatrical live shows playfully channel collective imaginaries of a pre-Christian Ireland, featuring masked performers who embody the presence of the síogaí (fairies/shapeshifters).
Their sold-out headline show at Belfast’s Mandela Hall in October 2025 was an important milestone, demonstrating their rapidly growing audience and unique live aesthetic. They have similarly been sweeping away festival audiences across Ireland, and a recent performance at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient has proven their ability to connect with international audiences.
