The initial line-up announcement for this year's Forbidden Fruit festival has been unveiled via the medium of Twitter. This year's festival will again be housed in the peaceful surroundings of the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham over the June Bank Holiday weekend (1st and 2nd of June).

Saturday will be headlined by Kasabian and Crystal Castles and Sunday will have Primal Scream and Chic as their two anchor acts. Elsewhere, James Black, Neon Neon, Four Tet, Everything Everything and Le Galaxie will all also appear. The full (as of now) line-up can be seen below. More names will be added over the course of the next few weeks.

A limited number of early bird tickets will be made available from 9am on Wednesday 6th March, priced at €44.50 for day tickets and €79.50 for two days. The ticket prices will then increase to €54.50 / €99.50.

No plans have yet been unveiled for the previously announced expansion to Cork and Galway, we'll bring you information on that as soon as we can.
