Mother’s Love Sensation festival announce Lily Allen, Clean Bandit, Gossip & more

Luke Sharkey

So here it is, the big new addition to Ireland’s festival scene.

Love Sensation is the result of Mother & MCD pairing up to hold an LGBT+ friendly festival this summer.

They promised us big pop headliners, they weren’t messing.

On headline duties will be British pop star Lily Allen, Clean Bandit, Gossip, Kelis and Soulé.

The DJ sets will be coming in thick and fast, with sets from Horse Meat Disco, Andy Butler, Kelly-Anne Byrne & loads more.

The George Stage will feature performances from Queer artists Vedas Coven, Davina Devine and the Dragged Up stage will host performances from Monet x Change, Naomi Smalls, Jujubee & more.

That’s an impressive first outing for sure.

Love Sensation will take place on August 17th & 18th on the grounds of the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham.

Tickets, at €96+, are on sale this Friday from the Ticketmaster site.
