INFORMATION

In addition to the amazing musical performances, the festival will also feature a host of food and drink stalls for all to enjoy. With it’s stunning setting and unbeatable atmosphere, the festival promises to be an unforgettable experience.

We anticipate this to be an economic and social driver for the town and with that comes opportunities for local business to advertise and maximise on the trade with people from all over Northern Ireland and further afield coming to our town (many of who will be camping on site).

As a voluntary, not for profit organisation, we are hosting this concert to try and put Lurgan on the map with regards to music and a location to host prestigious events.

Tickets can also be purchased from Skelton Travel and Brownlow Courtyard.
