Less than a week after Electric Picnic 2021 was refused by Laois County Council to take place next month, 'It Takes A Village' in Cork has announced its line-up for their outdoor festival, which will go ahead as planned.
'It Takes A Village' will be returning to Trabolgan Holiday Village in Cork from Friday, 17 to Sunday, 19 September 2021.

Tickets are priced at €189 per person, while general sale tickets will cost €209, available from 12 pm on Thursday, August 12.
Tickets can be purchased in groups of between two to nine people and includes three nights accommodation in a self-catering house, a weekend festival ticket, plus private parking. The festival is strictly over 21s.
The all-Irish lineup for 'It Takes A Village' has also been announced. It includes a mix of music acts, comedians and podcast stars such as Blindboy, Those Nervous Animals, Gemma Dunleavy, Fish Go Deep, Yenkee, John Francis Flynn, TPM, Sinead Quinlan and many, many more.
All of the performances and events will take place outdoors and all attendees and performers will have to adhere to strict COVID regulations.
