Summer 2011 is well and truly underway, but the INEC in Killarney have been keeping the best 'til last! Friday August 26th sees the kick off to a weekend of music fun with the inaugural Homegrown Music Festival, a three day, mud-free music event at the INEC complex in Killarney. More than thirty 'homegrown' bands will perform over the weekend, across four stages including Ryan Sheridan, Mundy, Aslan, Republic of Loose, Damien Dempsey, Royseven, O Emperor, Fred, HAL, Pugwash, The Flaws, The 4 of Us and buckets more.

The INEC complex will be transformed into a mini festival site, with the INEC Outdoor Stage, delicious gourmet food stalls to satisfy all tastes and pockets and a carnival atmosphere for all the family to enjoy. The INEC Arena, the Acoustic Club and the Back Stage Bar will feature Ireland’s best established artists and a raft of most exciting emerging music talent. Look forward to a festival that can guarantee no mud, no ‘one beer brand only’ policy, no queues and clean toilets!
