Kilkenny Roots Festival May 4 - 7 Kilkenny Running since 1998, Kilkenny Roots Festival calls in some of the finest acts in contemporary roots this year it has Darlingside, Rachel Baiman, Seamus Fogarty and The Blasters, among many others. Tickets are required for most events, but keep your Sunday wide open for the parade that works in magic, folklore and street theatre. MAYįeile na Bealtaine May 3 - 7 Dingle, Co Kerry feilenabealtaine.ie Feile na Bealtaine greets summer with open arms, music, spoken word and other acts, as a general gathering of madcap minds. Your ticket includes an actual bed in one of the 172 self-catering houses or 35 camper-van spots and access to the swimming pool, complete with wave machine. It Takes a Village April 13 - 15 Trabolgan, Co Cork €200-€280pps ittakesavillage.fm This new festival has Young Fathers, Talos, Lankum and Andrew Weatherall on the bill. All Together Now could steal a huge portion of the festival-hungry in August, as people are intrigued to see what John Reynolds, Electric Picnic's former promoter, has to offer with his new event. The August bank-holiday weekend is particularly saturated with festivals, between Castlepalooza in Offaly, Indiependence in Cork, the Beatyard in Dublin and All Together Now in Waterford. Longitude has changed – just as Electric Picnic has changed, I've changed and you've changed – but plenty of other things are going on for you to experience. If you're crying for the indie days of your youth, your needs are still being met they're just being met in a different way. Longitude's hip-hop heavy line up reflects the changing tastes of Ireland's yoof, with J Cole, Travis Scott and Solange as headliners and Cardi B, Migos, Khalid and J Hus taking you from the afternoon into the night. "If you don't like the line-up, then you're old, grandad!" chimed a chorus of ageist teens, hitting a nerve in those who still wear Witnness T-shirts to bed. ![]() "Ugh! I'm never going to Longitude again," said a woman who has never gone before. "Where are the bands?!!!?" tweeted one disgruntled Kings of Leon fan. When the act list for Longitude was announced, some people declared that music had died. Yet Twitter goes into a Liveline-style meltdown at every line-up announcement, with accusations that the main festivals are selling out and the smaller ones are too hip for their own good. With more than 30 music festivals across Ireland between April and the end of September, there's one for almost every age, county and genre, whether you're fresh out of secondary school, still living the college dream or bringing your army of babies, complete with protective headphones and a papoose, along for the day.
