Last year, Dubliner Dermot Kennedy played the festival to a packed crowd, earning him a loyal fanbase both at home and abroad.
If you’re looking to catch Fontaines DC or The Murder Capital on Irish shores, they play the Iveagh Gardens and Vicar Street respectively this year, with more details available on Ticketmaster.
