Overlooking the gorgeous Blessington Lakes as it provides punters with two days of sonic entertainment, Knockanstockan is viewed by many to be the community-based little brother of Electric Picnic. Their ethos is to book an exciting mix of the nation’s finest unsigned bands., which means festival-goers can be smug when acts they caught down Knockanstockan way end up being big deals a few years later.
Today, they show their 2015 hand.
The acts announced (so far) to play July 25 – 26 are:
Syd Arthur, Cult Called Man, Twin Headed Wolf, The Eskies, Bitch Falcon, Gascan Ruckus, Rocstrong, Robocobra Quartet, O Emperor, Kingston, Red Enemy, Tucan, Contour, Rebecca Collins, New Sectret Weapon, Vernon Jane, Leo Drezden, Bunoscion, Bunk, Megacone, Interskalactic, Pockets, Hector Bizerk, The Witch Trial, Mongoose and Mama Kasbah.
Expect over 70 acts to grace four stages in the event.
Tickets are €80 excluding booking fee and are on sale now from [link]knockanstockan.ie[/link]
