Ireland's complete music and arts festival that offers an array of musical acts, performance art, theatre, spoken word, green area, comedy, holistic health and art. Musically it's a more eclectic mix of artists than the other Irish mainstream events.

Make sure any tickets you buy are legitimate. eFestivals always links to official ticket outlets (and doesn't host adverts for unofficial outlets unlike other festival websites!) so you can be sure that any ticket bought via eFestivals will get you into the festival of your choice. Do not purchase tickets from unofficial or secondary ticket outlets or auction sites as they often are unable to supply the tickets, and might not even give you a refund - there's lots of dodgy operators out there!
