Dubliner Dermot Kennedy said it “feels surreal” to be headlining the festival.

“I first played EP seven years ago, to about 20 people sitting in front of the stage at 2pm in the afternoon,” he said.

“I almost didn’t make my set cause they wouldn’t let me into the Artist car park in my old Ford.”

The festival is on September 2nd to 4th at Stradbally Hall in County Laois.

Tickets to the cancelled festivals are still valid but returned tickets go on sale go on sale at 9am tomorrow morning.
