A bunch of artists have been announced for the festival which incorporates Hickson’s previous Mitchelstown Cave concerts series (200 ft below ground) in its programme.

  • The Unthanks (UK)
  • Lisa Hannigan
  • Hauschka (DE)
  • The Lost Brothers
  • Rozi Plain (UK)
  • Caoimhin O’Raghallaigh
  • JFDR (Pascal Pinon & Samaris) (IS)
  • Lisa O’Neill
  • Twin Headed Wolf

The ‘Cave’ gig programme across  three nights include  pairings August Wells & Ye Vagabonds (July 8); Caoimhin O’Raghallaigh & Twin Headed Wolf (July 9); and from Iceland JFDR (Pascal Pinon & Samaris) & Talos (July 10).
