Camping
There are two camping options available at the festival, there is the old school style of bringing your own and pitching in any of the castle or moat camping areas that your ticket allows or if you fancy camping in style, you can rent a pre-pitched carpeted bell tent. If camping isn’t your thing, well there is a number of hotels and B&B’s located near the castle. Campervan tickets are available and are priced at €30.

Royalty at Castlepalooza
Vodafone’s Centre Stageand Castlepalooza are teaming up to create Ireland’s first fancy dress festival day. It is by royal decree that Sunday, 3 August is declared official dress-up day at Castlepalooza. The inaugural theme is everything Kings and Queens allowing festival goers to express their interpretation of a modern-day royal and take Centre Stage at the ultimate royal court for one glorious night!
Tickets
Most tickets are all gone, but there are a few €129 camping tickets left, but hurry before they’re snapped up!
Acts to see:
Dan Croll is a UK a multi-instrumentalist whose songwriting has bagged him place on Apple ads and even acclaim from former Beatles’ members. His début ‘Sweet Dissray’ is a must have.
Vann Music were one of my picks to watch out for last year, so I’ll go with them again account that their latest single ‘Tina’ is unbelievably catchy. You’ll be pumped after seeing these guys.
Tvvins really impressed at Longitude this year, great stuff from Conor and Lar, indie synth rock brilliance.
Buffalo Sunn are tipped for big things, glorious sonic rock from the band with their ‘Seven Seas’ single.
Otherkin rocked the Whelan’s 25 tent at Longitude, expect them to more of the same at Castlepalooza.
Other acts to check out this weekend include: DREA / Fox Jaw / Enemies / Gruff Rhys / Hauer / Acrobat / Conor Linnie / Heroes In Hiding / Moscow Metro
