Mick Flannery, Wallis Bird, Fight Like Apes and Hermitage Green have all been announced for the upcoming Helium Festival, with many more names to be revealed in the coming weeks.

The boutique charity event, in aid of Ataxia Ireland, this year celebrates its fifth birthday and will generate funds for the special cause - as well as having a rip-roaring party along the way! The event takes place on June 8th in Skelly's Bar, Ballymahon, Co Longford and is organised on a completely voluntary basis by over 100 people from the local area.

Last year's festival, headlined by Ash, Delorentos and Jape, sold out 1,500 tickets in record time so make sure that this year you get your hands on tickets bright and early.

Tickets for the festival, priced at just €40, are available through entertainment.ie/tickets or by clicking the link below.
