The Wanted are to make their first ever Irish appearance at Portrush's Live at the Beach one day festival, taking place on Saturday June 25th, just in time for all those leaving cert students to take advantage of the party.

Also on the bill are The Saturdays, Alexandra Burke, Fugative, Lloyd Daniels and John Snow. The whole thing will be hosted by Paul Kennedy & Pete Snodden, and is brought to you by the folks at Planet Love Music.

Standard tickets are priced £36.95, while a limited number of family packages (four people) are available for £133, from www.plmpromotions.com/shop and usual ticketmaster outlets.
