Something amazing happens when Hothouse Flowers step onto a stage and we cannot wait to see what they bring to the INEC Stage. 

Making their second appearance at the festival will be Lankum, Aldoc and Kíla with family group Na Mooney’s, brothers Ye Vagabonds, awesome foursome No Crows and Corca Dhuibhne songstress Bernie Pháid will make their Folkfest Killarney debut.

Festival programmer Conor Byrne said “Following on from two successful years at Folkfest Killarney, one of the great joys for me is observing the joy of the faces in the audience. There will be plenty of smiles during this year’s festival!  It’s going to be a fantastic 3-day music spectacle, that will have you floating back to where ever you came from of a Monday! Bigí linn”
