The Stunning and Scouting for Girls to headline this year's Horizon Irish Open

The Stunning and Scouting For Girls are set to headline the main stage at this year’s Horizon Irish Open in the K Club, Co. Kildare.

Formed by Steve Wall in Galway, this will be The Stunning’s first time playing the Horizon Irish Open. The 'Brewing Up A Storm' singers will perform on Sunday 10 September.

Scouting for Girls, known for hits such as ‘She’s So Lovely’, ‘Elvis Ain’t Dead and ‘This Ain’t a Love Song’, will take to the main stage in the Championship Village on Saturday 9 September.

The English pop rock band have been on Tour with Olly Murs in the UK this Summer before taking to the stage in Co. Kildare.

Both acts will take to the stage once the final putt drops each evening.
