Arugam Days returns for a third edition, with Italian house and techno veteran Stefano Noferini headlining his first Indian Ocean date.

Arugam Days returns for a third year on Sri Lanka's east coast, turning the surf town of Arugam Bay into an open-air dance floor for a full afternoon-to-sunrise session. Italian house and techno veteran Stefano Noferini headlines his first Indian Ocean date, backed by eight local selectors curated by promoter By WiRED.

Noferini built his name on residencies at Space Ibiza and DC-10 and a catalogue running through Drumcode, Toolroom and his own Deeperfect label. Expect deep, driving house and tech house from mid-afternoon through to the early hours.
