Officially the best small festival, with an award to prove it, KnockanStockan Independent Music Festival have announced their line up of top Irish and independent bands and entertainers to perform this year.
The festival, which takes place in Wicklow, overlooking Blessington Lakes, from July 24th to 26th, features four stages over three days. The musicians that run KnockanStockan (all for free, I might add) pride themselves on providing an open and welcoming festival with no barriers and an emphasis is on good music and performance arts, not money making.
Weekend tickets are priced €65, including 3 nights camping!
