Cairde Opening Festival Club with Select

Sat. 4 Jul. 2026, 11.30pm
Admission Free

To celebrate the opening of Cairde Sligo Arts Festival and following Phil Collins’ durational film event they shoot horses, Cairde and The Model are delighted to present Select.

Select is a Sligo based, grassroots collective and club night pushing underground dance music on Ireland’s west coast made up of notjack and etrah. The pair have spent the past seven years building an independent party series that’s helped redefine & promote Sligo’s nightlife and music scene.

Since its inception in 2018 Select has grown into a trusted name for high-energy, no-frills dancefloors. Their sound moves fluidly across UK garage, 2-step, house, techno and breaks, with Notjack and Etrah’s B2B sets at the core, restless, bass-driven and dialled in.

Operating across everything from DIY spaces to established venues, Select has carved out a reputation for consistently delivering proper parties with a clear sense of identity. Their bookings reflect that same ethos: a considered mix of emerging and established talent, spanning both Irish and international scenes. Past guests include Shampain, Surka, Derv, SHEE, Prozak, Osmosis Jones and DJ Swisha, alongside a strong commitment to platforming local artists.

Community sits at the centre of what they do. Select parties draw from grassroots club culture, fostering inclusive, open dance floors without compromising on musical quality. It’s a philosophy that’s earned them a loyal following and a recognition as a key club night operating outside Ireland’s main urban centres.


All events taking place in The Model on Sat 04 July – they shoot horses, associated events and opening festival club – are free to attend.

There is a suggested donation of €10 with proceeds going to Medical Aid for Palestinians. Donations are welcomed, but nobody will be excluded for financial reasons.


In collaboration with Cairde Sligo Arts Festival.
