Ewan McVicar will headline the Summer Series this July
Last updated 3rd Feb 2026
Scottish DJ and music producer Ewan McVicar is pleased to announce his return to Belfast alongside special guest DART, DIEBYVEG and OJ WILSON later this yea.
📍 The Summer Series - Custom House Square, Belfast
🗓️ Friday 3rd July
His gold selling single ‘Tell Me Something Good’ bought wins for two awards in 2021 - ‘Track of the Year’ for DJ Mag Best of British accompanied by Radio 1’s ‘Electronic Track of the Year’ To date McVicar is especially proud of remixing one of the most important songs in recent electronic music folklore ‘Gabriel’ by Joe Goddard.
The brains behind his own mini empire, this early success is a sure-fire sign of things to come. Hungry, determined and full of good vibes for all, Ewan McVicar is primed for the next phase of his burgeoning career… Ewan started DJing when he was at university, building up a following in his hometown and, after getting a teaching degree, decided to take it up full-time (much to his mother’s dismay).
Initially focused on hip hop and the commercial end of club music, he made an impact with regular appearances at venues such as Furys and Club de Mar. By 2017 he’d started his own night TEN, at a time when there was no underground scene in Ayr. Ewan injected his passion for the music into the party and his tenacious attitude helped cultivate a strictly homegrown party, with all the residents cherry picked from the locality.
TEN spawned a movement, captivating the town’s rave-hungry youngsters and giving Ewan a platform to showcase his skills. The number 10 itself has a deep and personal meaning for the Scottish selector, linked to tragic events in his past. Rather than dwell on those difficulties, he has used the number to create a positive ethos that flows into the parties, and influences his optimistic outlook.
Support has come from some of the most influential tastemakers in the industry, with radio DJs such as Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Danny Howard, Jaguar and Sarah Story throwing their weight behind him. Ewan has also become something of a local hero in his hometown, and nationally in Scotland. A homegrown talent who redirects his success back into the land he comes from.
