What an amazing festival taking place now in Sligo.
📢 Festival Update – Venue Changes This Weekend 📢
Unfortunately, due to a fire at Austies Pub & Kitchen, we have had to make some changes to this weekend's festival schedule. While thankfully nobody was injured, Austies will be unable to open for the weekend. They are temporarily closed while they understand and manage building and repair works needed to safely reopen to our valued Customers, Staff & Suppliers. They'll be back in full force soon!
The good news is that the festival will continue as planned, thanks to the fantastic team at The Driftwood, who have kindly stepped in to accommodate the affected performances and events.
We would encourage everyone to visit Austies' social media pages and send them your support and best wishes as they work to get back up and running.
Please see the updated schedule below for all revised artists, venues and event locations.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for helping keep the festival on track. We're looking forward to welcoming you all this weekend, and with the weather forecast looking fantastic, it's shaping up to be a great few days of music, entertainment and community spirit.
See you all soon! ☀️🎶🍻
