We're just a few days removed from the start of Castlepalooza this weekend, with a pretty dazzling array of acts set to descend upon Charleville Castle in Tullamore, Co Offaly, this August Bank Holiday Weekend. 

Entertainment.ie favourite And So I Watch You From Afar would be our top tip among the weekend's musical treats but attendees will also be treated to performances from the likes of CSS, Croupier, Fight Like Apes, Ghostpoet, Le Galaxie, R.S.A.G., SOAK and bags more.

Below is the site map for the festival, so make sure you familiarise yourself with all the key areas of interest (bars & toilets, etc) before you get there to save yourself the indignity of wandering around aimlessly looking for somewhere to go.
