Set in the stunning Kilruddery Estate between Bray and Greystones in Co.Wicklow, Groove Festival is a newbie to the festival circuit in Ireland. Headlining the weekend will be James Morrisson (remember that song he did with Nelly Furtado?), UB40 and Irish sweetheart Imelda May.
There is also a strong Irish presence in the rest of the line up, with some fine acts taking to the stages across the weekend. Damien Dempsey, Gavin James and Ham Sandwich lead the way for the homegrown acts. There is also a great bunch of promising artists on the bill too in the form of Raglans, Swords and Just No.
So if your thinking of hitting up the picturesque festival this July weekend, then here’s all the info you need to know.
Tickets for Groove Festival are €99 for entry on Saturday and Sunday, while one day tickets are €59. Each adult can also bring 1 child under the age of 12 for free, as long as they are registered, which can be done here.
