Dreams Festival celebrates the birthday of Dolores O'Riordan in September

Dolores O'Riordan would be 48 years old on September 6, 2019. To celebrate the late Cranberries singer's birthday and legacy, her brother Brendan O'Riordan, amongst others, organised the Dreams Festival, which will take place from September 6 to September 8 in Bruff Co. Limerick, where the Irish icon was born and raised.

The festival showcases an eclectic mix of exciting artists on an outdoor stage and in multiple indoor venues. In addition to this, there will be talks, community music gatherings, comedy, cabaret and spoken word acts.

The town is also going to re-name the iconic park where Dolores was famously interviewed with her mother during her time as a judge on The Voice of Ireland. The unveiling ceremony will take place on Friday, September 6.

If everything goes according to plan, Dreams Festival won't be an one-time event, as co-promoter and close friend of Dolores, Rainer Lindheim, explains: "We hope that this years event will be a seed-planter for an annual event to take place in Bruff on the first weekend of every September. Its spirit is to celebrate original artist's music and in some way to help showcase their own dreams."

The singer's brother Brendan O'Riordan has said: "We want to celebrate Dolores and her memory. I have spoken to so many people who she inspired with her music. Her songs helped them cope through the dark times and encouraged them to write and play. Many of them will be performing for the weekend. People in rural Ireland are often isolated and music helps bring communities together and that's what we aim to do on Dolores' birthday."
