Knockanstockan are keeping some of their headliners secret this year

Knockanstockan returns to Blessington Lakes, Wicklow for its 10th year of the festival for a three day event from July 22nd – 24th and as part of their landmark decade year, they have a few surprises up their sleeves.

Promising, a combo of new Irish artists (as is their MO) and well-known bands, the latter of which, Knockanstockan won’t be announcing in advance and will appear on stages as Honorary Guests.

“We really want the element of a birthday surprise at this years festival, so our lineup is under lock and key right now, even most of the crew don’t know who is playing,” says Bettine McMahon one of the festival bookers.

Expect over a hundred artists all the same.

Tickets are on sale now, weekend camping at €115+fee, Sunday and Campervan tickets are €50 each.
