"The Féiles and Italia '90 tend to merge in my head: a time of incredible optimism and fun, when it seemed Irish bands - almost all of whom could lay claim to at least one timeless classic - ruled the day," said Féile veteran Dunne.
"The 'Trip to Tipp' was the Mecca for Irish bands; a celebration of Irish rock music that had never been seen before. This concert has been in the ether for some time now, and myself and the bands are really excited to be collaborating with the Irish Chamber Orchestra to put together a glorious, in-your-face celebration of a special time in Irish music!

"Féile was special; it was iconic, it was our Woodstock, and Féile Classical will be an even bigger, better, louder explosion of the best of those days and so much more."
Concert-goers have been promised "modern-era luxuries like a choice of clean toilets, gourmet food tents, gin and Prosecco offerings and pints that are poured from a keg" by the promoters, with tickets, priced €49.50, going on sale on Friday April 27 at 9:00am from Ticketmaster outlets.
