Two of the most celebrated musicians of all time share a bill on Irish soil this Sunday

It's not too often that we see a double-headliner of this magnitude in Ireland, but two of the most famous musicians of the modern era are sharing a bill this weekend.

Bob Dylan and Neil Young play Kilkenny's Nowlan Park this Sunday, with support from Glen Hansard.

Dylan will be accompanied by his band, and Neil Young will be backed by Promise of the Real, the band he's been playing with for the last few years.

Below, you'll find the stage times and other important info that you need to know, as per the promoter.
