Day tickets start from €89.50 and weekend €159.50 from Eventbrite.
Physical Tickets are available in Lar Na Pairce, Thurles.
The expanded 2-day festival will cater for up to 30,000 fans in Semple Stadium alone and following on from the much-acclaimed FMC Music Trail of Liberty Square, this year the trail will include more venues and a mix of music and other entertainment. Building on the success of last year’s Glamping facilities, for those who want to stay overnight in style, organisers have put together a broader range of options, suiting all price points this year.
