This week the main attraction is the Solas Festival, a unique addition to the boutique festival circuit. The festival aims to take world-renowned artists and place them in an intimate setting to entertain the lucky 3,000 ticket holders.

The festival is the brainchild of numerous independent promoters aiming to establish an affordable high quality festival featuring the best national and international musicians and DJs. Sounds good!

The festival offers everything from electronic and reggae to rock ‘n’ roll, traditional and acoustic so there should be something there for everyone.

The line up includes Hijack Oscar, Kila, Autamata, Republic of Loose (pictured), Preston Reed, God Is An Astronaut plus many more.

The festival runs from August 16-17 at Huntington Castle, Clonegal, Co. Carlow.
