Another festival line-up has been announced this morning, as Castlepalooza - the festival that's held in the grounds of Charleville Castle in Tullamore, Co. Offaly - has stuck its proverbial stake in the ground with an impressive bunch of names.

The ever-popular Caribou, aka electronica maestro Dan Snaith, tops the bill. Joining him will be hip-hop icons Jurassic 5, Cat Power, Villagers and more.

The first full batch of additions can be seen below, with more TBA:

Romare (Live AV set)

Cian Nugent

Somerville

Colm Mac Con Iomaire

Tiger & Woods

Alle Farben

The Altered Hours

Badlands

Overhead, the Albatross

 

Castlepalooza 2016 takes place from Friday July 1st - Sunday July 3rd  for the first time, rather than its usual August Bank Holiday slot. This year, it has partnered with promoters Aiken Promotions for the first time, with the festival site re-design being another of the changes taking place for the long-established independent event.

"Aiken Promotions have been long-time fans of Castlepalooza and we are delighted to announce this partnership," the press release stated. "[Founder] Cillian Stewart & his team have done a fantastic job building this festival independently and we look forward to building on their good work."

Tickets are on sale this coming Monday (February 29th) at 9am. Weekend tickets will set you back €134 (camping) and €115 (no camping), both not including booking fee.
