The Waterboys, Mick Flannery, Susan O'Neill, Ae Mak, and Róisín El Cherif are among the acts who will play When Next We Meet festival in Co Tipperary this May.
Now in its fifth year, the event takes place over 3.5 acres across from the banks of the River Suir at Raheen House in Clonmel over the weekend of 29 to 31 of May, with local singer Eve Whelan, Moxie, MDR and new trad act The Wran also set to play.
The festival opens with a €15 "soft-launch" evening on the Raheen House grounds, offering an accessible entry point for locals and early arrivals ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend festival.
Performances will come from Clonmel Community Choir, Jo Blonde, Sun Merchant and rising Cork band Babyrat, with no requirement to commit to the full three-day experience.
The Saturday of the festival features the winners of the ongoing Tipperary Battle of the Bands alongside In Lieu of Flowers, Noah Hayes and The Last Party.
Festival Co-Director Kate Twohig says the fifth edition of the festival marks an important milestone, "We’re bringing an international dimension to the banks of the Suir this summer with The Waterboys, to mark our 5th year.
"While this is our biggest edition yet, expanding to three days, we remain rooted in supporting the richness of Irish artists and the community that returns here year after year."
Limited Saturday Passes (€55 plus booking fee) and Sunday Passes (€65 plus booking fee) are on sale now.
