Summer festival season may be drawing to a close for another year, but there's a couple of big events left on your calendar - and one of them takes place this weekend.

The first Love Sensation festival rolls into the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham on Saturday, August 16th and Sunday, August 17th.

Headlining the LGBT+ focused festival are Lily Allen, Kelis, Clean Bandit and Gossip, with everyone from Le Galaxie to Panti Bliss and other drag acts also on the bill (see here for the acts we reckon you really shouldn't miss.)
