Sligo Summer Festival 2018
Example, Mundy, Paddy Casey, Mike Denver and Kieran Quinn & Guests set to headline Sligo Summer Festival 2018. Started in 2012, the festival has gotten bigger each year and this should be the biggest yet as organisers have added an extra date on the Sunday for the first time ever.
Once again, an array of National and Local headliners are set to grace Stephen Street Car Park in Sligo town centre for 4 nights in August. What makes it even moreappealing is that it is only €3 admission each night and U12 children go FREE!
The Sligo Summer Festival has been pulling crowds from all over the country for six years now and it’s set to wedge the car park once again. Example is arguably the biggest act the festival has ever booked and is guaranteed
to have the car park wedged very early on Friday August 10th. With a long list of radio hits such as Kickstarts and Changed the Way You Kiss Me and a massive online following, he will be drawing crowds from miles away.
The Saturday night will see a magical Irish double headline with endless sing along after sing along hits as Paddy Casey and Mundy will have the crowds entertained for hours. Expect to hear the crowd singing the likes of July, Saints & Sinners and many more late into the night.
Country fans will be ecstatic to hear that the Sunday will see a list of country stars grace the stage with headliner, Mike Denver finishing the night. With the seemingly endless popularity of country music in Ireland in the last few years, it is quite possible the Sunday could bring the largest crowd of all so get in early.
The Thursday has now become the Kieran Quinn slot and we hope it never changes. You could trawl the whole country and not find a better man to put together a musical extravaganza like Kieran can. 80s fans are in for a real treat as that is this years theme. Expect a wealth of amazing local talent on stage and as always, a few unexpected guests.
Sligo Summer Festival, now in its seventh year, has already successfully hosted six hugely attended festivals since 2012. It has attracted thousands of people since its’ inaugural year and this year promises to be no different.
Previous years has seen Aslan, Sister Sledge, Boney M, Wheatus,The Riptide
Movement, Ryan Sheridan, The Saw Doctors, The Strypes, Jerry Fish, The Stunning and Sharon Shannon. Mundy headline with many other amazing Irish acts also grace the stage in what has become one of Irelands biggest festivals.
The festival runs for four nights from Thursday August 9th to Sunday 12th, and overlaps with Sligo Races two day August meeting (August 8 & 9th), so it promises to be 5 huge days for Sligo.
As with last year, there will be a €3 admission for over 12’s on the gate to help fund this Community Festival. The Sligo Summer Festival takes place again in Stephen St. Car Park, Sligo.
