Moore for Lisdoonvarna Festival return

After a twenty year gap, one of Ireland's best remembered outdoor music events is to make a comeback this year.

Christy Moore will headline the Lisdoonvarna Festival and confirmed support acts include The Frames, Suzanne Vega, Mundy, Damien Dempsey and Luka Bloom.

Thousands are expected to descend on County Clare for the one-day festival on 28 June. It will be held at the original festival site, just outside the town.

The Festival will also feature a second stage, to be hosted by Wonky.

Artists confirmed for this stage are Bonnie Prince Billy, The Microphones (K Records), Goodtime John and D.A.D.D.Y.

The first Lisdoonvarna Festival was held in 1978 and over six years played host to artists such as Jackson Browne, Emmylou Harris, Van Morrison, Planxty and Rory Gallagher.

Tickets will be on sale from Ticketmaster.
